The decision to begin therapy, with all of it’s exciting possibilities for growth, is often made during a complicated or difficult time. I approach therapy from a solution focused lens. We will work together to help you take control of your life, by understanding the patterns that have been developed to manage uncomfortable feelings that have been firmly rooted from the past. We will work together to recognize your strengths, develop self-esteem, and strengthen relationships.
I have worked as a therapist for over twenty years and have a practice in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Prior to moving to New York, I worked as a therapist and addiction counselor in Boston, Massachusetts where I operated my own private practice and worked as a Clinical Director for an outpatient substance abuse treatment center. During my time as a Clinical Director, I worked with clients suffering from PTSD and a host of mental health disorders.
I also worked as a consultant at Boston College, performing psychosocial assessments for students struggling with behavioral challenges and facilitating weekly support groups. I have been blessed to lead a successful career and feel strongly that it is a direct result of my passion for psychotherapy and the opportunities it provides for personal growth and transformation. My greatest gift in life has been raising my thirty year old son who is a high school history teacher in Brooklyn, NY.
