I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, families, and groups. I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and aging/ end of life issues. I believe that people are capable of change and healing no matter what stage of life they are in. I believe in helping people find their starting point and working towards goals in order to feel better and achieve success. I take a non-judgmental and empathic approach and utilize solution-focused strategies to help guide you on your personal path to wellness. I employ mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help ease the bumps in the road on your journey. My approach is client specific as there is no "one size fits all" approach. The key to finding the best approach for each individual client is building a strong therapeutic rapport that results in a collaborative relationship.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
