I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been helping adults, couples, and children in Westchester County in both private practice and mental health agencies for over 35 years.
When life's challenges become overwhelming, you may be seeking more effective ways to deal with problems. In the treatment process, you can develop new understanding and learn how to reframe and reinforce changes with concrete strategies. In addition, relaxation and mindfulness techniques not only support your change process but also reduce the stress you are feeling.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative, building on existing strengths. Some clients come in for a few sessions to learn ways to address the immediate problem. Other clients want a more comprehensive, insight-oriented therapeutic approach. My professional experience has taught me that integrating new insights into the change process offers the best chance for long-lasting, meaningful change.
