Personal Statement

I'm a licensed clinical social worker(psychotherapist), consultant, trainer, author and motivational speaker with over 15 year's experience. When asked what sets me apart from other professionals in the field, clients cite my keen insight, non-judgmental approach and depth of experience as the key factors that make the difference. I provide "just- in- time" services that assist individuals and organizations with refocusing their energy and getting back on track with their goals.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I have extensive experience working with Adolescents, Pre-Teens/Teens, Adults and Elders and utilize a variety of treatment approaches. I provide in- home therapy in addition to office visits in order to ensure clients receive services in their environment of choice.

I believe my life's calling is to assist people in moving from "acorn to oak tree" so that they can lead meaningful lives filled with great joy.
