I think experience is important. My approach to treatment is pragmatic, hands-on and helpful. I believe that asking for help is not easy and I respect people that take that step. I am a good listener and tend to be active during sessions.

People often say, I don't know why I do that, referring to an unfavorable behavior. This is evidence of our unconscious. We are all products of our earliest emotional conditioning. That is fine, if your parents were wonderful, loving, and understanding. For the majority of people, there was some form of negligence and/or dysfunction that occurred due to the complexities of child rearing. We tend to push away what is good for us and seek what is familiar. Unconsciously, we will repeat negative relationship patterns unless addressed. We all are deserving and able to be the best version of ourselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Adelphi University, and a BA in Sociology from Fordham University. I have worked for nineteen years as a social worker on Long Island treating mostly individuals. My current practice focuses on young adults, adults, and older adults. I am an open-minded, "easy to talk to" social worker who looks forward to working with clients wishing to work on themselves in addressing a variety of issues such as managing stress, enhancing coping skills, depression/anxiety, and issues related to substance use disorders.

Day to day challenges or unrepaired past hurts may cause anxiety, depression, or health issues, and can interfere with every aspect of your life. Infidelity, family discord or job issues may leave you feeling dissatisfied or trapped. I can help you develop a better understanding of yourself and others and learn more effective coping and communication skills. Doing so will help you address these issues and create more satisfying, mutually respectful relationships at work or home. These desired life changes may eventually reduce your level of stress and lead to an improved sense of emotional and physical well being.

For 25+ years I've witnessed profound changes in my clients. When we understand what triggers us, we become less reactive and more present. This allows for growth, peace and contentment. I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with relationships, depression, stress, and anxiety. I take a culturally sensitive approach to working with clients including couples from different backgrounds. My treatment is psychodynamic and compassion oriented. I strongly believe that people can change and relationships can improve. These are challenging times, caring for our mental health is critical.

Making the choice to begin therapy can be challenging. The task of working through your inner thoughts can seem daunting, but I would like to be on that journey with you. My approach to therapy is to allow my clients to guide their own sessions while I serve as a support. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and I enjoy helping people do “inner work”, which is to explore past experiences and to dig deep into their thoughts. I feel treatment should be individualized, because each person is unique in their needs.

The primary focus of my practice and passion is working with LGBTQ+ youth and families. Professional affiliations include NASW and WPATH.
