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.

Seeking therapy can be frustrating, overwhelming and scary. You hope to find someone who understands what you're going through, what you've been through or what you're about to face. Life can be difficult and complicated. Sometimes we feel alone and need someone to talk to or we just want someone who is not in our circle. Someone who won't judge. Someone who will take the time to listen and give a different perspective. We all have different ways of approaching problems, managing them and getting the outcomes we desire. Therapy is about finding what works best for you and working together towards it.

Life takes us on many unexpected twists and turns. No matter how hard working, tough or intelligent we are - none of us can get it right all of the time. Things have often been building up for a while, perhaps as early as our childhood. When we finally do fail, it hurts. We are shocked and caught unaware. We judge ourselves harshly and feel we are less than what we should be. This is when we need help in getting through these life transitions. Counseling can give us a fresh perspective. It helps us look at each crisis as an opportunity, to find even better directions for ourselves and for our loved ones.

Sometimes people find themselves thinking about going into counseling for a number of reasons such as feelings of sadness, excessive worry, sleep difficulties, irritability, low energy, loss of interest in activities, or due to problems in relationships. The decision of whether or not to start counseling and who to see, is not an easy one, and can take trial and error in finding the "right fit". I recognize that there are many options in the Buffalo/Niagara area, but I would like to offer you something different from what you may have experienced or heard about counselors in the past.

You are a gift. A miracle. You were born a champion! You were born and brought into this world in pure love. As we experience our life, things happen that cause us to shift from that pure love to emotional discord. As a result, we grow apart from our true self, that pure love. For some, emotional disturbances or conditions develop such as anxiety, depression, anger, negative thinking or self-doubt. I have 25 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults using traditional therapy and cutting edge non-traditional techniques that will help you get you to your goal.
