I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (New York
State) since 1986. I have maintained a private practice in Manhattan since 1992. In
addition, I am a credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor (CASAC) and certified as an EMDR therapist. My professional background is in general mental health, addiction/recovery, and grief/bereavement.
I am a bilingual/bicultural(Spanish) interactive therapist, who engages in a warm, straightforward, and encouraging manner. I see the strength of the relationship between the client and therapist as the primary catalyst for positive results. My orientation is a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, strength-based therapy, and motivational interviewing counseling. I believe having a deep understanding of our history is paramount to our healing, and more specifically looking at where we started, where we are, and where we are going in our life journey.
My treatment approach is similar to how I choose to live my life. It can be summed up by the words of Maya Angelou, “When you learn, teach, when you get, give.” In other words, what I know, I pass on.
As a therapist, I reflect back what I see happening and present it in a way that can be heard. I am guided by the belief that “Whatever good we have, we share for the benefit of others.” The giver benefits as much as the receiver and it is this collaborative work style along with simple presence between the two that brings about healing and wellness.
