About

Real life experience deeply informs any therapists work. I know the joys and challenges of marriage, parenting and career. I also know how it feels to struggle; how hard relationships can be and that we often put ourselves last on the list of priorities. It is difficult for me sometimes to do the next right thing and to know when to assert myself and when to let things go.

I use a variety of approaches and techniques in my work; from delving into deep seated past experiences, developing simple coping strategies to coaching and advanced techniques. Often shifting in a session as needs change.

I see myself part therapist, part life coach and part sponsor.

I earned my BSW from Lehman College and MSW from New York University. I have over twenty-five years of experience helping individuals, couples and families overcome their challenges, and educating other therapists in psychotherapy and substance abuse counseling skills.
