I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with 31 years of professional work experience. I have worked in multiple settings including the mental health system, the school system, at an Employee Assistance Program, an in-patient alcohol rehab and within the foster care system. I have helped clients with many different concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, loss and grief, relationship issues, anger management, motivation, self esteem and assertiveness.
I use a number of different therapy models including solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. The most important part of counseling is meeting you where you are at, treating you with respect, and developing a trusting therapeutic relationship.
I realize that making changes can be uncomfortable, As a professional, a wife, and a mother of two grown children, I have faced many situations that have taken me out of my comfort zone. I believe that my experiences, as well as my training, will help you navigate outside your comfort zone as well. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
