LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients become discouraged. Much of my work will involve identifying a next right step in addressing problems.
Clients should expect a casual atmosphere and a conversational setting. We are just trying to get to know one another and how I can be of assistance.
I am able to combine insight, humor and empathy into something that may encourage growth and courage in my Clients.
I love working with women across the age span from young adults to middle and later years. My clients are often challenged by a particular set of problems and need help regrouping and finding a path forward.
I believe there are three steps to making personal change: awareness, acceptance and action. The hardest part is acceptance but it creates a good foundation for wiser choices.
I am a practicing Christian and can integrate biblical teachings in my approach if desired.
I pull from Gottman, IMAGO and others to help a couple identify and repair areas of shared experiences and pain.
