Hello, I am an LICSW, graduate of Boston University's School of Social Work. I majored in Community Organization and Planning and believe in Systems Theory. I interned in the New England Telephone Employee Assistance Program back in the day. I am a coach , not an authority, each client or system I work in/with evolves into their own mastery.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will introduce ourselves and begin to identify the point of pain. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about me as the provider and the process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a good listener. I am patient and love therapy, as a provider and a recipient. I believe in the power of therapy to elevate our functioning and promote self knowledge.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have been a practicing LICSW for 40 years. I have treated people from all walks of life and perspective. I have often learned as much as I have taught. I enjoy the journey. People who have or want hope are my dream clients.
