Great to meet you!
I am licensed in New Jersey with 25-plus years of professional work experience. I hold a Master's degree in clinical social work from Fordham University in New York and increased my knowledge base by continuing studies in the Ph.D. program at Fordham University. I have put my studies on hold, in the Ph.D. program but did extend my studies by alternate means, by completing coursework through continuing education courses and certificate programs, such as the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certificate.
A bit about my approach to therapy
I affirm that quality education put forth into practice with clients is by far an approach to bringing academics and human behavior. It helps to link the "presenting issue" component to a solution-focused resolution.
What you can expect from our first session
Client will take away from seassions, that I am here to support, encourage, and help them resolve matters using a more softer, caring and sympathetic touch - yet in a goal oriented and solution focused thechique/modality of treatment.
