Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol counselor. I am located in New Jersey. I have been in practice for 12+ years as a therapist and have another 10+ years as a case worker and administrator. Outside of my practice, I am married and have two children. I enjoy travel and running and often try to weave an overall concept of fitness=wellness into my work.

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

In our first session we will spend some time discussing anything you find important about yourself. I try to get to know "you", not just the identified problem. I think discussing things like family, hobbies, pets, faith and even what you like to eat helps tailor a plan that is personalized. After you think we have hit the important things about "you" we will outline and define the issue that brought you to therapy and craft a strategy that feels right for you!

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

I focus on finding solutions that are useful for my clients, not just a one size fits all session. I am open to supporting clients in this process in a patient and empathetic way. I have found that when individuals come to therapy and are willing to focus on the change and work between session, not just the sessions, have the best results! I'll work with you to make that effort worth the work.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize the ABCD method formalized by Albert Ellis to bring awareness and insight to my client. This allows the client to reduce and dismantle unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors allowing for irrational thoughts to lessen.

Strength-Based

As a social worker, strength based assessment and focus is a foundation. By identifying and leveraging strengths progress can be achieved.
