I am a bilingual, bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the NYC area for 13 years and counting. I have much experience working with diverse populations. Because I have been working with diverse populations in many different neighborhoods in NYC, I feel that I am culturally competent and bring acceptance and openness to treatment. I also feel that I have been able to work with a wide array of clients and presenting issues and diagnoses. I really enjoy working with clients who are working through issues of depression, anxiety, difficulty with a change in employment or career, in addition to helping to build confidence and self-esteem. I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. I feel that many clients are looking for ways to resolve or ameliorate some of the symptoms they are going through at the time, and I enjoy helping clients find those solutions. Realizing that you are open to the helping process is a huge step. Congrats! I look forward to working with you!
