| Practice Description: |
 | I am available for telehealth sessions. |
In order to improve your quality of life, people tend to be proactive in their physical health. Your state of mind should not be any different. Psychotherapy can be helpful. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) who is professionally accredited by the Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW). Upon completion of my Field Seminar Instruction, I am certified to train and supervise graduate students.
I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers which is an organization that provides community educational resources and advocacy support to achieve high professional and ethical practice standards. Additionally, I am a member of the Hills/Valley Coalition which is an alliance of community members working to educate and promote the community about mental health and substance issues to reduce risk teen behavior and support healthy family lifestyles. Recently, the National Broadcasting Radio interviewed me on their daily show to discuss my contributions to the community and private clients.
As a clinician for over 20 years, treating adolescents, adults and seniors facing different issues in various levels of care provided me excellent professional experience to work independently in private practice. I will use my acquired skills, knowledge, and experience to help improve your emotional well-being.
During the first session, I will conduct an assessment by gathering information to gain an understanding of your problems and provide recommendations. In the next session, we will complete a treatment plan to include your short and long term goals. Besides clarifying your expectations, this plan will serve as a baseline to monitor your improvement. The following sessions will include learning problem solving skills, solution focused techniques, and coping strategies to get your life back on track.
Please call 201-690-6760 to arrange for a free consultation to begin.
I am IN NETWORK for most major insurance companies and accept many Employee Assistance Program* benefits as well. You will NOT need to submit any paperwork to your carriers. All insurance claims and Employee Assistance benefits will be processed by Personal Solutions, LLC.
*An EAP benefit may be offered by your employer. An employee and his/her family could receive FREE sessions (usually betweeen 3 and 8 a benefit year) to be used for counseling and recommendations.
