I am a clinical social worker, licensed in Connecticut and New York State. I have been helping individuals, couples and families grow and change over my entire 47 year career. Change can be frightening to contemplate, but in reality change is normal. People grow and change on a daily basis as we learn, adapt and grow wiser and gain more experience. Often, being human, we make mistakes or we find that our lives are not what we expected. This can result in depression and/or anxiety, or a disruption in our relationships with families and loved ones. It may even result in serious mental illness. As an experienced therapist, I help my patients become in charge of that change process, rather than victims of it. I can't solve your problems, but I can assist you to solve them yourself.

If you are dealing with multiple challenges/obstacles you need to know how to deal with them. Oftentimes we don't feel like we have a handle on our emotions, or how to deal with our personal/work/family relationships. And when such difficulties arise; one cannot function effectively in life. The first step is to acknowledge that you want to feel better hence wanting to change your thinking and behavior. My goal in working with you is to get you to a better space where you develop a clearer, stronger, positive, and self -reflective view of yourself and the environment around you. With many years of experience and practice, I offer an empathetic, warm, friendly, and honest approach to therapy which will hopefully help you learn more about yourself.

In the beginning of working with me I will want to know what brought you to treatment in your own words, and what you would like to get out of treatment. In addition depending on the work that I a m doing with you; I may provide you with literature for you to read and/or strategies/techniques to work on during your treatment process. I believe in the client being an active participant in their treatment process. I believe in holding my clients accountable for their actions; which I believe helps build healthy confidence as they navigate how to resolve their problems. In addition I believe understanding where someone came from culturally and environmentally is essential in helping them go forward. I will always acknowledge and validate a client''s culture, background, as well as their true authentic self.
