Education and Experience
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who obtained a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Rutgers University in New Jersey. I earned my Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in New York City. I have 20 years of experience working in the field of mental health.
Before starting my practice, I worked extensively in the public sector. I had the privilege of working with prominent psychiatrists and mental health professionals in non-profit mental health hospitals/clinics in both New York and Alabama.
In 2016, I opened a private practice focusing extensively on relationship issues. I have been working with wonderful individuals and couples ever since who inspire me everyday.
Training and Qualifications
I have gone through extensive training from the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT ). EFT Therapy is considered the "gold standard" in couples therapy and backed by considerable research. I am the only ICEEFT Certified Relationship Therapist in South Alabama and only the second to be Certified in the state of Alabama.
EFT Certification is an rigorous process a therapist goes through to demonstrate proficiency in the model. Therapists must complete 78 hours of trainings under top couples therapists in the country, have 8 hours of direct consultation reviewing therapists taped sessions, and submit session tapes for approval to an international governing board.
