I have over a decade of clinical experience. I have worked with all ages and populations. Currently I also work as a Middle School Social Worker and assist adolescents in managing their school related stress and anxiety symptoms on a daily basis.

Contact me if you are currently in need of assistance or just need someone to talk to. I am a full time social worker and pitbull Mom but I will make myself available to you as needed.

Therapy is a big step for some and I am here to walk with you through this process. I provide a safe inclusive environment tailored to your specific needs.

During my twenty-five years as a Clinical Social Worker, I have worked hard to increase opportunities for people who have experienced extreme challenges to achieve their goals.

Masters Level Social Worker LCSW. 24 Years Public School Social Worker, Private Practice since 1995. Family, Individual, Stress Management, Crisis Intervention and Relationships

I'm ready to help you get started on your journey!

I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 22 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with diverse issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, couples counseling, life transitions, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral.

People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

I am a collaborative and interactive therapist that utilizes a variety of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, EFT, and solution-focused techniques based on the individual client, their wants, needs and goals.

It takes a lot of courage to make positive changes in your life and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. You need someone who you can trust, who will partner with you to provide an accepting, honest and challenging therapeutic environment so you can build your ‘emotional muscles’ to create better relationships and a more satisfying and joyful life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including agencies and EAP's in addition to my private practice. Those environments have shown me that while our own histories and circumstances are unique, we all have a common need to feel safe and respected in therapy. It is hard work to look at your life, recognize what you want to change, and then make choices that may feel uncomfortable but are needed to grow and thrive.

I have helped individuals, couples and families who were struggling with anxiety, depression, partner and family issues, trauma, substance abuse and more. I am dedicated to helping my clients tap into their resilience and create new choices so they can get unstuck from negative patterns.

Whether you choose me or another therapist, congratulations on seeking therapy--you made a courageous decision and it will benefit you greatly.

Once I became a mother, I began to value my ability to listen intently and hold space for all dimensions of a person. My background as a storyteller has shaped how my conversations with clients are structured yet intuitive. My work experience as a director of social-emotional programming to providing 1:1 psychotherapy in private practice for almost a decade has allowed me to support individuals from an array of backgrounds. Most of all, learning how to re-parent my own innerchild after trauma has given me the compassion and insight to consistently help my clients change their lives.
