Personal Statement

With more than twenty years experience practicing clinical social work, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of individuals, couples and families in their quest to understand themselves more fully and lead healthier, more satisfying lives. There is no question that therapy and counseling works, and the benefits that can be yielded are many. With the foundation of an accepting, supportive relationship with an experienced and caring therapist, difficulties that can otherwise seem overwhelming and unmanageable can be understood, and strategies explored.
