Great to meet you!

I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. After earning my social work degree from Columbia University School of Social Work I have worked in diverse settings and fields of practice. I have worked in settings such as mental health clinics offering psychotherapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults; adolescent residential care; undergraduate and graduate social work education; and most recently, higher ed.

My approach to therapy

Navigating life's obstacles can be a challenging and sometimes lonely experience. I offer clients a supportive partnership where together, we can explore the issues of concern, the factors that are currently creating obstacles to growth so that clients can take steps towards change that works for them.

What you can expect from me

As clients explore their life situations, they will walk away with greater insight that will serve them beyond our time together. As we work together and work on developing greater self awareness coupled with new patterns of thinking and behavior, clients will increase the skills they bring to dealing with present and future challenges.
