Professional Background:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with my Psychotherapy "R" Privilege. This means that New York State recognizes me as a qualified health professional to deliver mental health counseling. I stand as a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
I graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo in May of 2008 with my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Health, Mental Health, and Disability. I participated in extensive trauma-informed training through the Trauma Institute and Child Trauma Institute. I use a variety of skills derived from evidence-based models of therapy tailoring therapy to each person's individual needs. My experience includes working with people in a family mental health setting, people with eating disorders, trauma/loss addictions, severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), veterans, children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance (SED), people with an intellectual disability and people presenting with a wide range of challenges.
