About

About me
I am Mary, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with over two decades of dedicated experience in helping individuals transform their lives. My educational journey began with a BA in psychology from Queens College and continued with a master's degree in social work from New York University. Throughout my career, I have specialized in addressing depression, anxiety, anger management, relationship issues, and crisis intervention using evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy.

As your therapist, my passion lies in guiding you to gain a deeper understanding of your desires and develop the skills necessary to achieve them. Together, we will explore your concerns, identify obstacles, and enhance your self-awareness to unlock your full potential.

I am committed to being with you every step of the way as we embark on this journey towards a more fulfilling life. Let's work together to embrace the life you envision.
 
Treatment philosophy
My treatment philosophy centers on compassion and patient empowerment. I believe in collaborating closely with patients to address their unique challenges, ensuring they feel heard and understood. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT to tackle issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Every patient is an individual; I create personalized treatment plans that respect their needs and goals. My focus is on skill-building, helping patients develop coping strategies and improve their overall well-being and working towards their goals. Together, we will navigate emotional hurdles and work towards a fulfilling life where families and individuals thrive. Your journey is important, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
