Great to meet you!
About me:
I am a caring and compassionate NJ state Licensed Social Worker with a Masters degree from Columbia University and over 20 years of direct practice experience with multicultural populations.
I specialize in working with couples, families, children and adolescence, survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence, anxiety/ depression and a myriad of other conditions. I favor a systemic and holistic approach grounded in trauma-informed care and evidence based practice. I am fluent in Russian and Spanish and have great success in working with individuals and families from various backgrounds by practicing cultural humility and respect.
My goal is to help you find a way to reach your full potential. Together we will develop an individualized treatment plan to address your specific concerns and take steps to reaching the best healthiest most authentic version of you!
