I look for individuals who are open to challenging themselves in a safe and supportive environment. I have a strong commitment to my clients and provide ample resources to help them create lasting shifts in their lives.

I chose the field of Social Work for my Master’s degree at Adelphi School of Social Work because I love helping people and seeing them grow. I worked for a psychiatric hospital where I was exposed to a variety of mental health issues. I met Lisa Sanders, my colleague, at Abilities, a major non-profit. I encounter many individuals lost in the red tape of government bureaucracy. Navigating the government systems are difficult and assistance is often needed.
​
I offer services that can help individuals get benefits to care for a loved one with Medicaid. I also can aid in obtaining disability benefits for those who are newly, or have been, disabled. I also provide individual counseling on a range of topics including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. Meeting Lisa Sanders at my job, and working with her on many cases, provided us with the insight that we could work well together in our own company. Thus, Embracing Self, was formed.
