PATCHOGUE, NY

As an LMSW, my foremost priority is to deliver compassionate, ethical, and person-centered care to every individual I have the privilege of working with. I recognize that life presents a wide range of challenges—whether they stem from mental health struggles, substance use, family dynamics, trauma, or socio-economic barriers—and I am deeply committed to supporting clients as they navigate these obstacles. I approach my work with empathy, understanding that every individual’s story is unique and shaped by their lived experiences. In addition to my role as a social worker, I am also a wife, sister, and daughter—relationships that have profoundly shaped my understanding of family dynamics and the significance of secure attachments. These personal experiences have provided me with invaluable insight into the complexities of human relationships, the challenges that families often face, and the deep emotional bonds that influence personal growth and well-being. Throughout my career in social work, I have learned the value of meeting clients where they are, without judgment, and empowering them to recognize their own resilience. I firmly believe that every person possesses inherent strengths and capabilities, even in their most difficult moments. My role is to help individuals identify and build upon those strengths, fostering personal growth, stability, and self-determination. In every interaction, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and respected. I am dedicated to advocating for their needs, promoting access to resources, and working collaboratively with them to develop individualized strategies for achieving their goals.
