Great to meet you!

I have a Master's in Social Work from The Smith School for Social Work and 30 years of experience in the field. Patients experience me as warm, understanding and supportive. I provide a connection that facilitates healing and solutions. Some of the treatment modalities I use are: Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Relational Psychoanalysis. In our sessions I will conisder many modalities as we work together to determine what is best for you. I see individuals, families, couples and children.

My approach to therapy

I focus on connection, a quality that research shows is essential to the healing process. Many theories are at play as a strong healthy connection is developed. The process is highly individualized and develops as we get to know eachother.

What you can expect from me

Goals in treatment are developed with in put from the patient and evolves as the your understanding of yourself and others changes.
