I graduated from Adelphi University in 1985 having earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years experience. I worked in an outpatient drug treatment center as a clinician, supervisor and trainer for 22 years along with maintaining my private practice for much of that time.
During this time I worked with people from all walks of life and from very different socioeconomic categories. My insight, sensitivity and compassion enabled me to engage and connect with wide ranging people with significantly different needs and problems.
I have assisted people struggling with a wide range of issues, including substance abuse, emotional eating and other addictions, relationship problems, depression, fear and low self esteem. My integration of psychotherapy, twelve-step philosophy, experiential exercises, emotional freedom technique™ and spirituality consistently results in my clients improving relationships, resolving inner conflicts, raising self-esteem and experiencing greater happiness. I also supervise and train other therapists.
I guarantee my clients the opportunity to outline their goals and to strategize about how to meet them quickly and efficiently, any combination of individual, group and family therapy and group therapy workshops, a variety of suggestions and perspectives, thought provoking questions, to be listened to with acceptance and compassion, different types of interventions in sessions, free newsletters and articles and different length of sessions/payment options.
I am very strongly committed to my own personal, professional and spiritual growth. I have participated in numerous post graduate trainings, a variety of in-depth and profound personal growth programs and have been practicing meditation for over 35 years.
