EXPERIENCE:

I began my career working with troubled and disenfranchised youth of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NY, in 1988. Duties included engaging kids in athletics, facilitating spiritual support, and connecting to social services as needed. I also have worked as a spiritual counselor in retreat work, and in nursing homes throughout NY State. Throughout the years I have worked in various capacities, providing both spiritual and practical support for families, children, and homeless populations. I have worked with individuals in crisis as a counselor in a crisis respite clinic serving populations who need help with behavioral and addiction challenges, and connecting to social services as needed. I have also worked in community mental health, providing individual and group counseling services, and intensive community support.  As an accredited certified hypnotherapist, I have worked with individuals both in crisis and those who simply wish to improve their lives; including grief therapy, gestalt therapy, parts therapy, smoking cessation, weight management, self-empowerment/ motivation, anger management, Post Traumatic Stress, and relaxation/ frustration tolerance. My work with Family Preservation and Reconciliation interventions demonstrates a history of success in meeting client needs and resolving initial presenting crisis, improving communication, increasing parenting skills, and assisting families by providing psychoeducation and access to relevant resources.

 

COUNSELING PHILOSOPHIES AND METHODS:

My philosophy and approach, when working with Family Preservation and Reconciliation Services, is Humanistic and Solution Focused, with the utilization of recognized Evidenced-Based interventions. This includes (but not limited to) Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, TFCBT with Childhood Traumatic Grief, Motivational Interviewing, Mental Status Assesment, Symptom Management, Treatment Compliance, Crisis Management, Anger Management, Communication Skills Training, Relationship Building, Life Skills Training, Hands-On Parenting Coaching, Parenting Psychoeducation, Child Development Psychoeducation, Attachment and Bonding education and skills training, Support System Reinforcement, Drug and Alcohol Education, and providing access to resources in the community as needed.

 

While I work with culturally diverse populations, consisting of a wide range of ethnicities, abilities and ages, I have noted experience working with single fathers, diverse faith populations, the elderly, and Developmentally Disabled individuals.

 

I believe that a client has an inherent ability to grow and be empowered, and holds the information needed for psychological health within themselves. Families are viewed as a whole system, and individual family members as parts of that system. I also recognize the value in meeting basic human needs for psychological health. I am influenced by solution-focused, cognitive, dialectic, family systems, gestalt, and psychodynamic therapeutic interventions. Nature is comprised of diversity, and is interconnected, a whole system. Being products of nature, it seems logical that our inner world is thus comprised. A whole system is well equipped to be self sufficient, thus my positive client-centered approach. The client and the family in crisis has the tools and, once facilitated, ability to heal, grow, and enjoy self-empowerment.

 

Cancellation of appointments

Please understand that when you make an appointment, I am reserving that time for you. If you miss an appointment, that is time that could be spent with another client, please notify me 24 hours prior to your appointment if you need to reschedule Or if you are ill or in an emergency.
