I believe that trauma and adversity effect and change the mind, the body and the spirit, and too often therapy neglects to look deeply enough at all three of these areas.

I also believe critical to treatment is feeling accepted and cared for by your provider.

I am a licensed and seasoned clinical social worker (LCSW-R) in practice for 30+ years, specializing in couples and individual therapy. My academic training was at the University at Buffalo; my post-graduate and continuing education was at The Marriage Counseling Center, where I mentored new therapists and developed a strong word-of-mouth following. Couples work included, but was not limited to, these critical issues: emotionally focused communication, destructive conflict patterns, emotional and physical intimacy, infidelity and trust repair, pre-marital assessment, commitment, and discernment of ultimate relationship habitability.

I will work with you to help reveal your true potential. We will uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life.

Everyone functions uniquely, at times experiencing depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief. I help people around these issues, as well as introversion, high-functioning Asperger's, bipolar, OCD, and social awkwardness...relationship issues, self-esteem, living with narcissists, identity. We can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. We will focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire.
