ABOUT ME
I bring over 20 years of dedicated experience in the field of mental health,
Marked by a commitment to understanding and facilitating meaningful change for individuals. My journey in this profession began with the completion of my graduate work at Fordham University School of Social Work, Where I acquired a solid foundation in the theoretical and practical aspects of clinical work with individuals.
To further enhance my expertise, I pursued post-graduate training at The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the New York Counseling and Guidance Service. This training not only expanded my knowledge but also deepened my understanding of the profound impact that experiences have on shaping individuals.
It instilled in me the belief that comprehending the connections between past experiences and current challenges is fundamental to resolving emotional difficulties and fostering positive change.
I firmly believe that each person has a unique journey and story, and it is my passion to actively listen and engage with individuals to understand their experiences. This approach allows me to provide personalized and effective support tailored to the specific needs of each individual. I recognize the importance of creating a safe and empathetic space where individuals can explore their narratives, fostering self-discovery and empowerment.
My professional journey has been characterized by a commitment to ongoing learning, staying abreast of the latest advancements in mental health, and incorporating evidence-based practices into my work. Whether it’s supporting individuals through counseling, therapy, or psychoanalytic approaches, my goal is to facilitate a transformative process that leads to improved well-being and a more fulfilling life.
I am dedicated to creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where individuals are encouraged to share their experiences openly. Through this partnership, I aim to guide clients toward understanding the intricate connections between their past and present, offering insights that pave the way for positive and lasting change.
Your story is unique, and I am genuinely eager to hear about your experiences and collaborate with you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being. Together, we can work towards resolving challenges and building a foundation for a more fulfilling and empowered life.
