Great to meet you!

As someone with over 28 years of experience with all facets of mental health,and substance abuse, I am well-rounded and seek to provide my clients with an open, supportive,and non-judgmental modality of therapy. I always encourage authenticity and both short and long term goals.

My interest in MH began while working a P/T job at several group homes. I studied the efficacy of Art Therapy on mentally impaired residents.Supervising many group homes,I received my Masters degree at SUNY @ Stony Brook.

My approach to therapy

A simple approach to therapy, which seems to be extremely effective, is to stay where my clients lead and/or need to me to go...until a solid foundation of trust and commitment are established.

What you can expect from me

During the initial session, I hope to provide a safe and calm environment to support our rapport development.

It's my goal for all of my clients to begin to embrace their strengths, and learn to utilize their time in between sessions to improve their overall quality of life.
