My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Masters of Social Work degree and completed my clinical hours for licensure at Queens Childrens Psychiatric (OMH - NYS), now known as NYCCC, located at 74-03 Commonwealth Blvd, Bellrose NY 11426.
My goals for you
My goal is to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences as we work together towards your unique goals.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals. This will help me understand your unique situation and how I can best support you. We will also discuss the therapy process, confidentiality, and any questions you may have. My aim is to create a collaborative relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.
