About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York with a Masters Degree from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University.

My approach to therapy is tailored to the unique needs of each client, utilizing various methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Art Therapy. I have over 15 years of experience in a variety of settings and with diverse clients, including both long-term and brief interventions. 

Over the course of my career, I was able to explore my passion for clinical practice while spending several years working at a Psychiatric Hospital. I also provided therapy for patients with mental health diagnoses and substance abuse issues. Earlier in my career, my experience as a teacher, career advisor, and counselor has sparked my passion for learning and development. I am certified in working with Alzheimer's and dementia patients and caregivers. I have Divorce Mediation and Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 3 certificates. I speak English and Russian.

I am a very compassionate and enthusiastic person with positive energy. I believe that change happens when people are given the guidance they need to draw on their strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling happy lives. I provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals overcome obstacles to move forward and thrive.
