Philosophy: Therapy is a partnership where the client and therapist work together to help the client achieve change. I have an open and non-judgemental style. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe that our perceptions affect our feelings and therefore it is important to examine how we have developed certain perceptions and whether they affect us in a positive or negative way. We often cannot change our circumstances but we can change how we feel about them and cope with them. |
|
Practice: I have been in practice since 1979 when I received my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. I provide Employee Assistance Services as well as maintain a private practice at Guidance Associates.
I provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families, adolescents and children utilizing a broad range of therapy modalities including cognitive-behavioral approaches, brief therapy, and play therapy. My areas of expertise include anxiety and stress, bereavement, relationship issues, parenting concerns, life adjustment concerns, chronic illness, adoption and infertility, women’s issues, geriatrics and work related conflicts.
I also present workshops and seminars on topics that include Stress Management, Workplace Conflict, Balancing Work and Family, Parenting Issues and Who Cares for the Caregiver.
In addition, I have training and expertise in providing Critical Incident Stress Management services.

Additional information: Prior to entering Private Practice, I have over twenty years experience in a social service agency setting. This provided me with experience in many areas such as aging, adoption, and program development. This experience has provided me with a broad perspective that enhances my counselling. |
