I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 12 years experience in a variety of settings throughout lower New York. I have worked in a Residential Treatment Center for severely emotionally disturbed boys and adolescent males, a medical hospital (with experience in emergency care, geriatrics, medical/surgical care, pediatrics, and geriatric), a school-based mental health clinic located in a "high risk" middle school in the Bronx, and an inpatient psychiatric hospital, as well as private practice. A bulk of my work has been with treatment-resistant adolescents and their families, with much experience in behavior problems, mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, self-injurious behaviors, pervasive developmental disorders, ADD/ADHD, psychosis, and dual diagnoses. I have significant training in various areas, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational therapy, and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Other trainings include the Hamilton training (for depression) and Disruptive Behavior Disorders Intervention. I am also an active member of NASW.
