*currently accepting new clients for day time appointments* Have you experienced trauma that has left you feeling a lack of control, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or incapable of actively engaging with your environment? Therapy should assist you in regaining a sense of control and allow you to develop the skills to reengage with your environment in a positive and hopeful manner. My goal is to provide a safe space to process your thoughts and learn effective skills to work through the memories and images you may experience on a daily basis.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am trained to understand you in the context of your environment. I specialize in the value of knowing your thoughts and feelings are not only based on you and your environment, they are also based on the health of your brain. Mind/body connection has everything to do with the way you feel, think, and act. I am also certified as a clinical nutritionist. This skill will help you feel better within a short period of time. Talk therapy and good nutrition will put you on a trajectory that will take you on a wonderful journey and never look back.

You are not alone; If you need me, I’m here to help! I provide assessment, intervention, education and coaching for children and adults with speech, language, and cognitive- communication difficulties due developmentally and/or neurologically based issues. I’ve been fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings providing me with a wide array of experiences. After 28 years of experience, I continue to love my field of work and my passion translates into providing quality care to my clients and their families. Helping individuals and their families learn, grow and become more confident and competent communicators is important.

Children's developing brains and the many supports naturally built into their lives (parents, siblings, teachers, etc.) make them perfect candidates for intervention when they are experiencing difficulty. If you are concerned about your child, as a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist, I can identify strengths and needs and develop a plan for intervention that addresses multiple influences within your child's life, including home and school. I am most adept at working with children with developmental delays/disorders, anxiety, learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and executive functioning deficits (such as attention difficulties).

I have been counseling addicts and alcoholics since 1993. I have inpatient, detox, outpatient and intervention experience. I have completed many assessments for teens at college that have been sent hiome for evaluations and treatment if needed. DWI and DUI assessments and education can be done at YOUR convenience and not according to an agencys schedule. My ideal client is a motivated client, that want's to make their life better, or recognizes that his or her substance abuse/addiction is causing major disruptions in their life. I also enjoy the challenge of the unmotivated client that I can help through the stages of change. Individual, group counseling and random drug testing (on site) are regular practices, family work and education are important services that I provide as well. I work closely with Psychiatrist's in Greenwich Ct, New Canaan Ct, and NYC when needed. These are trusted addiction specialist psychiatrists. I look forward to helping you and or your family member. When I am working with a client I become available 24 hours a day.

In today's society, so many people are living with mental health struggles. There are many triggers we are often confronted with; unemployment, relationships, emotional and physical distress, self-image, social media, even the news! Day to day life stressors can contribute to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, and with so much pressure, it is easy to feel trapped, lost, or out of control. So how does one find a path to arrive at a healthy and balanced life? I believe one of the most important things you can do is find the right support. Support and community are key to helping individuals overcome the challenges they face.

I aim to explore that perspective and help guide client’s in a place where they feel safe and comfortable. This allows for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth.

Psychoeducation is an intervention I often incorporate and I tend to put an emphasis on coping skills, self care, and healthy boundaries, as they are all a very important piece of the healing and growing process.

Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of therapeutic experience. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, but I understand the importance of psychodynamic intervention as well.
