I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My approach to therapy is humanitarian-based, and I like to focus on the cognitive foundations of self-understanding. I've worked with a large cross-section of populations over the last 30 years from prisoners in Donovan State Prison to decorated war veterans for the U.S. Veteran's Administration. I've treated many, many clients with trauma-based disorders like PTSD, and with mood disorders like major depression and bipolar depression.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.

You’re constantly told that you are strong—you wake up, smile, and keep it moving, even when you’re running on empty. You hold in your needs, afraid to disappoint others, constantly balancing the weight of family expectations with your dreams. You overachieve, you please, and you rarely slow down. Deep down, you’re craving peace, joy, and the freedom to set boundaries without guilt. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and finally put yourself first. Your body holds generations of trauma, yet it also holds the wisdom to heal. Together, we can reestablish your internal safety and promote a healthy mind and body connection.
