I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical supervisor with a master’s degree from Rutgers Graduate School of Social Work as well as a post-master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice from NYU. I am also the co-author of “No More Secrets: A Therapist’ Guide to Group Work with Adult Survivors of Sexual Violence” and a contributor to the Encyclopedia of Sexual Violence and Abuse (ESVA). I continue to educate through clinical workshops and trainings for mental health professionals as well as various organizations devoted to client wellness. In an ever-changing chaotic world, now may be the time to reconnect to your authentic self and reset your internal balance. Balance emerges through the dynamic interplay of inner and outer forces in each of us. Subtle shifts in our intentions can create amazing changes in our quality of life. As we each strive for internal balance, the spirit of harmony and wholeness can be awakened within us and we are renewed. Processing and transforming negative emotions into positive ones in a safe and validating environment can move us toward a happier and fulfilling inner life. The courage to step out and meet what we fear, and learn from it in order to transform and heal ourselves, is the true balancing. It is through one’s experiences, life lessons, and breakthroughs that self discovery, optimism, and hope emerge. Our transformation comes from looking deeply within. Making the changes necessary to improve the quality of your life requires the capacity to self-observe. This self-observation comes in the form of a commitment to continuous learning about your inner self and the awareness of its wants and needs. Together we can explore what steps to take toward living in greater harmony and inner balance. In our collaborative journey together, I am a change-agent that will help you to gain and utilize the insight that fosters internal growth. This growth will in turn allow you to seek your own highest truth through the knowledge and empowerment gained in the therapeutic process. According to a client’s needs, the therapeutic models I utilize may include psycho-dynamic therapy that fosters internal insight and balance, cognitive-behavioral modalities that work towards understanding and modifying unhealthy core beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors, and solution-focused therapy that stresses the resources and skills clients already possess in order to find solutions to problems. I also employ complementary therapy models such as art, creative writing, and dream journaling to further explore the internal process of the “self”. Each modality is “strengths-based” and can foster a self-discovery that leads to personal empowerment.
