Great to meet you!

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.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is primarily Psychodynamic and Systems Based. I do utilize interventions from many orientations including CBT and Client Focused Therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

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.
