Over twenty-seven years
experience working with people looking to understand themselves and to
improving their lives.
I am a licensed clinical
social worker who practices both individual and couples therapy. I specialize
in working with clients from diverse backgrounds. My training as a social
worker has given me the understanding of how both childhood and current life
circumstances impact people. I work to assist you in understanding how to deal
with your problems. My goal is never to provide answers for people, but to help
people to understand themselves so that they can function and operate
independently of their conflicts and problems.
I have extensive
experience working with gay men, women, male survivors of childhood sexual
abuse, couples, artists, and people from other cultures. Bringing a sense of
discovery and openness to seeing who a person is beneath the surface has imbued
my career with clients who for a variety of reasons feel a sense of otherness
or differentness that has greatly impacted their lives and that they wish to
understand and explore
My intention as a
therapist is that together we can understand the challenges you bring in such
areas as addictions, depression, anxiety, relationships, intimacy or sexuality
and then look at how these issues stem from the underlying conflicts you face.
