I hold an MSW from Rutgers University and I am a NJ, Colorado and FL LCSW, a NJ LCADC and a FL CAC, as well as a Certified Clinical Supervisor in NJ and Fl.
My focus has been substance abuse disorders, mental health disorders and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. I have been in private practice for over thirty years and bring extensive experience from both inpatient and outpatient treatment settings to your therapeutic process.
My approach is primarily Psychodynamic and Systems Based. I do utilize interventions from many orientations including CBT and Client Focused Therapy.
I firmly believe that the client must be comfortable and have trust in the therapist and the therapeutic relationship. My clients frequently report that I have create a sense of comfort and trust early in treatment. I believe, whatever issues the client is confronting, that I can help with gaining insight, formulating a plan and engender the courage and confidence to meet their goals.
