Whether you are looking to help your toddler with having better days or you want more peace in your home with your teen, my vast experience in understanding child development as well as family dynamics is an open handed offer to you. Feel free to be in touch for a free consultation prior to committing to beginning therapy.
After earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work at New York University in 2008, I worked in various community mental health organizations and residential facilities as a means to assisting families and supporting my community. This experience built my expertise and comfort in working with all types of trauma, which I continue to provide. I am committed to the health and well-being of children, specifically with adolescents and the zero-to-five population. My extensive training allows me to focus on “strength based” models and improve healthy attachment with children and their parents.
On the use of cultural humility:
Using my foundational training as a social worker, I value the use of social justice in my practice. In this practice, we are committed to working to maintain awareness of societal oppression and biases as a means of understanding and providing treatment on a holistic level. A critical goal we hold is to practice cultural humility and to radically accept that more than one truth can exist. With this, we maintain an ongoing dedication to providing comfort for a diverse range of clients- racially, culturally and for the LGBTQIA+ community.
