UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy. I am a supportive and empowering therapist who provides a warm environment emphasizing collaboration, mutual respect, and trust. If you are ready to start developing healthy coping skills, changing negative behavioral patterns, improving personal and romantic relationships, working on problem-solving techniques, and reducing stress, please reach out so we can discuss how to meet your goals. Our work is empathic, proactive, and collaborative-we are on this journey together. We will make meaning out of hardship and transform crisis into opportunity. I am passionate and committed to helping each person achieve their maximum potential. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from New York University and a Bachelor's degree from Hunter College.
