Personal Statement
Hello! I am a licensed social worker with a general private practice. For over 25 years, I've helped people just like you lead more fulfilling lives. If you've been asking yourself the following questions, I can help you find the answer. Confidentiality will be strictly adhered to, as it is the cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. There are times when an exception has to be made, such as in a life-threatening situation. If this occurs, I will discuss this with you as soon as possible.
Are you feeling sad? Anxious? Are you a parent having trouble managing the conflicting demands of family and work? Are you struggling with coming out of the closet, or having a gay child or other relative? Are you in the generational sandwich, dealing with the needs of your own children and your parents? Is your family going through a transition like separation, divorce, or death, and you need support handling your grief and stress?
When life becomes overwhelming and you can't find the solutions on your own, come and talk with me. Together we will find some answers and new ways to cope.
