Emotional stress and difficulties can get in the way of reaching one's personal and professional goals, at any age. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I practice from a psychoanalytic perspective because my professional experience has shown me that this way of working can result in deep and meaningful change that is lasting. I also incorporate other treatment techniques from the perspectives of developmental, interpersonal, CBT and stress management, and parent support and consultation, as indicated.

I work with clients of all ages to understand their unique needs and strengths and help them develop skills and strategies and to access needed services for managing challenges and actualizing their personal goals and potential. I strive to be authentic, warm, and direct in both therapy and assessment, and I value the diversity of human experience. I conduct therapy and skills groups and provide comprehensive testing and evaluation services. Many clients seek evaluations to gain insight into themselves and/or to get needed supports and accommodations. I conduct assessments to identify learning challenges and to inform interventions.

While my practice includes many individuals, my specialty is working with couples.
In addition to coping with the stress of everyday life, I have extensive experience in treating the following:
Infidelity, boundary issues, challenges with family, difficulty with conflict resolution, anger management, loss of intimacy, trust issues, parenting disagreements, and blended family challenges.
Everyone I work with has a different combination of goals. Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, I strive to help my clients not only achieve their goals but to live a more fulfilling life.

After 34 years as a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, I have decided not to renew the license and to continue working as a Relationship Coach.
What's wrong with this relationship? The same problems keep on repeating time after time. So what does a study of psychology reveal? A well-trained and experienced psychotherapist can help to shine a light into the dark unconscious places which shroud the mysteries. This helps to bring the issues into consciousness, and once there, allows you to work with them. This work involves change. There may be many underlying issues which will become the work as they become apparent.
