As a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with culturally, economically and ethnically diverse individuals, families, couples and groups from all walks of life. I have practiced domestically and internationally including, NYC, California and most recently in Dublin, Ireland. (Please note that I am only taking tele-therapy clients and use a HIPPA approved site. I have found using tele-therapy to be very convenient for clients with challenging schedules). I have extensive knowledge and training related to gender identity, sexuality, non-traditional relationships; i.e. polyamory/open relationships, as well as expertise and personal experience with personality disorders including: Narcissism; Borderline; Avoidant; Antisocial and the emotional trauma experienced in relationships with people affected by these mental health issues.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss specific challenges you are dealing with to help create a tailored therapeutic plan to work through in follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Taking the step to enter into therapy can be a difficult but rewarding one. I feel passionately that therapeutic change is possible and sustainable with commitment, vision and conscious effort to alter negative behavioral patters and situations. I pride myself on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental and collaborative approach to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients to put them at ease and enable them to process underlying emotional conflicts and stressors to assist with managing symptoms and attaining their individual therapeutic goals.
