Anxious? Depressed? Lack of motivation?

Do you question your life's purpose? What brings you joy and why achieving it is such a struggle? Are your relationships always a challenge? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that don't work, including around alcohol and substance use? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

I am a licensed clinical social worker, in New York & Florida skilled in working with adults who struggle with mood disorders and addiction. I work with individuals & couples; welcoming members of diverse communities. Additionally, my previous 15 year work experience with the FDNY's employee assistance program, allows me to help those struggling with trauma. I use an eclectic insight oriented approach using both relational & cognitive-behavioral theory. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship forged by client and therapist and I provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment in which we can explore and solve issues collaboratively.

I have been engaging with clients over 20 years, in an open conversational manner to assist them in identifying and addressing the source of these concerns, to decrease their symptoms, and if necessary relapse prevention, so they can get more joy out of life and get more fuller or meaningful relationships
