Hello and thank you for visiting my BetterHelp profile! Here you can take a moment to learn a bit about me and perhaps get a feel for my style.
I am certified as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), having earned my Masters of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. As with the majority of LCSWs today, my approach is eclectic. That being said, I carry a strong belief in the importance of early attachments. My therapeutic style is framed by Objects Relations Theory, which emphasizes the importance of initial relationships. An “object” here is the primary caregiver, most frequently one or both parents. One’s earliest relationship with his or her object(s) has an undeniable influence on the development of self-esteem, which influences relating with every other individual as well as to the self. I have seen this in all of my clients, young and old, regardless of diagnosis. I do believe the effects of these attachments are irrefutable, however I recognize change is always possible, and in many cases necessary.
It is also important for me to emphasize my experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). From my observations in both my personal and professional life, most humans alive today have “borderline tendencies,” which translates to “difficulty regulating emotions in interpersonal relationships.” I have become familiar with the stigma carried by many against this diagnosis and therefore relate to these clients without unnecessary judgment. Experience has shown me that I work well with those struggling with regulation of their interpersonal relationships, whether diagnosed or not. I also have experience with client substance abuse/addiction and understand every person’s ultimate need to love and be loved. Presently, I provide psychotherapeutic counseling to adults with traumatic brain injury. These humans now contend with regulating their emotions, similarly to addicts and those with BPD, and can benefit from the intensive approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Finally, I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and am passionate about yogic values as they relate to present day therapy. I am experienced in promoting body awareness and in leading meditations. If interested, just ask :)
(If our schedules do not seem to align, please write to me and ask for a more fitting time. My schedule can be flexible. Do not let this be the reason we do not work together!)

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
