Many of my clients come to me feeling stressed out and overwhelmed with juggling all their responsibilities. They are often seeking help to manage their stress, improve a relationship or navigate a life transition.
I use not only my education and training, but also my lived experience to help individuals achieve more balance and joy in their lives. Having juggled multiple roles, lived abroad, dealt with difficult events, I know first-hand, many of the challenges high achievers face.
While I always felt a strong pull towards mental health and helping people, I had been working as a market researcher for 10 years prior to becoming a clinical social worker. As a project director in the marketing research field, I managed studies that helped firms position or optimize new products or services.
It was the combination of a family member suffering from depression and my employer suffering financial difficulties that led me to follow my heart and return to school to earn a Master of Social Work (MSW), preparing me to make a difference in a more personal way.
Qualified Therapist in New York
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of New York. I have a Master of Social Work from New York University, Silver School of Social Work and an MBA in Marketing from Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business.
In addition, I have a post graduate Certificate in Psychoanalytic Therapy from the Training Institute for Mental Health, a Certificate in Advanced Clinical Training from New York University and a Certificate in Financial Social Work from the Center for Financial Social Work.
I’m also trained and certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is a highly effective treatment that helps people work through past difficult experiences and areas where they are stuck.
I can help you cope with the difficulties and stress you may be experiencing. Having a safe place to discuss your concerns will help you figure out what things you may wish to change so that you may feel more balanced and happier.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my husband and family, playing board and card games, reading, and watching movies. I believe in the importance of self-care; therefore, I practice meditation, restorative yoga and occasionally take art classes.
I also love learning more about how I can help my clients heal and lead happier lives, as indicated by my current pursuit of a Certificate in Psychoanalysis.
