I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has engaged in agency and private practice for more than 40 years. I have assisted individuals and families with issues involving self-esteem, relationships, emotional regulation, bereavement, parenting, adoption, life transitions and psychiatric and physical illness. I have also been a clinical instructor and supervisor to students and professionals engaged in the various behavioral health care disciplines. Everyone has a story to tell and my role as a clinician is to help individuals with this sharing.

I am an experienced therapist and listening is a first step, helping a client sort through their issues with alternative suggestions, strategies and enhancing their coping skills. Goal setting is working together with a client in setting both short-term and long-term goals in a pace that is comfortable with the client. Assisting and supporting a client in acceptance of achieving realistic goals for positive outcomes within their life.

Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness. People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.

Congratulations on taking a step toward a more fulfilling life. I am a certified clinical social worker, and life/empowerment coach. I love to form a partnership with female clients in a thought provoking, non-judgmental way that inspires them to recognize, heal from, and breakthrough what is holding them back from a happier, less stressful life. I use a variety of approaches according to the woman’s individual needs and goals.
