Here to Help You Heal

Therapy is a challenging journey. If you’re here and reading this, then you’ve started your journey to heal. If you chose to work with me, know that I will be there every step of the way to listen, help you share, and teach you tools that alleviate your often debilitating symptoms.

 

In my practice, I utilize academic knowledge, professional insights, personal experiences, and valuable resources to help adults ages 18+ navigate specific disorders and issues, such as panic disorder, domestic/intimate partner violence, substance abuse, and immigration issues. My mission is to challenge you when needed in a safe space where you can process and understand your past, determine the root cause of your struggles, and help you connect with yourself in order to resolve them.

 

*Services are available in English and Hungarian.

 

My Approach to Care

Building trust can be a difficult, and delicate, task. That’s why I utilize strength-based therapy, where you feel empowered and in control. Through an integrated approach, I tailor care to your needs, incorporating Psychodynamic, Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral

Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative therapies, to name a few. My goal is to determine your strengths, reintroduce them to you, and show you how to use them – in other words, providing you with the empowerment to triumph through difficult times.

 

A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have more than 20 years of experience working with various populations across clinical settings, including a community mental health clinic, hospital, collage wellness center, and residential substance abuse treatment. I earned my BSW in Hungary at the University of Debrecen and MSW in the US at Touro College Graduate School of Social Work. Upon graduation, I completed a Motivational Interview training at Columbia University, as well as earned a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor certificate based on my experience with the population.
