I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, and families. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to explore issues, develop effective coping skills, and improve overall well-being from a strength-based approach. Utilizing an eclectic approach to treatment, built on a solid foundation of empathy and trust, I connect with clients in a way that facilitates growth and change. My goal is to help you identify your goals in a meaningful way, facilitate forward movement in your life, and develop a fuller sense of self-acceptance. With an extensive background in trauma-informed treatment, I offer expertise in working with issues related to trauma, abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence. As an addiction specialist and Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)-approved provider, I can provide drug and alcohol evaluations, as well as recovery-focused treatment, to individuals dealing with substance use and addiction. Some of my other specialty areas of focus include working with first responders, other helping professionals, and caregivers. I have been very successful in helping couples sort through difficult relationship issues, gain clarity, and make decisions about their relationship. As a family systems-trained, Imago theory, strength- and resiliency-based therapist, my focus has been helping individuals, couples, and families deal with relationship conflict, infidelity, divorce, blended families, family of origin concerns, and other family issues. I connect well with and enjoy working with teens and young adults. I like helping others with life and career coaching, and I can provide services to employees as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider. I have extensive training and background in all aspects of human trafficking and domestic violence. I can help individuals struggling with trauma, abuse, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), as well as bereavement, grief and loss, anger management, and provide services as a Critical Incident Response (CIR) provider.

As a holistic psychotherapist for over 40 years, I have delighted in working with people using a wide variety of modalities. Whether it is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness meditation, homeopathy, sound healing, Bach Flower Remedies, dream work, journaling, affirmations, Buddhism, mindfulness, depth psychology, or anything else, all come together to support your health and well-being. By respecting your individuality and providing a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment I pave the way for us to collaboratively develop a therapeutic alliance, where trust flourishes and you feel comfortable sharing your deepest concerns and authentic self. There are so many wonderful and effective ways to help with the kaleidoscope of challenges we all face. The beauty of holistic psychotherapy is its integration of theories and practices from psychology, philosophy, yoga, homeopathy, nutrition, ancient Sanskrit mantras, poetry, meditation, herbs, etc. into a cohesive whole, all of which help balance mind, body, and spirit. As the yogis say, all that you seek is already within you. Helping you create a loving, compassionate relationship with yourself, while catalyzing your intuition and wisdom to enhance other areas of your life, is the most meaningful work I know. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you on old andor current issues, and help you find that peace that really does lie within. Please feel free to call me and ask any questions you might have.
