Bio

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State with a Masters of Social Work from New York University. I’ve been helping people for decades make positive life changes as they move toward greater well-being.

While I have a wide range of experience in different modalities of therapy, I work eclectically with no allegiance to a particular canon. Each of us have our own unique set of challenges; thus, there's no one particular orientation that works for everyone. My guiding principal is to understand someone as deeply as possible and to create a partnership in the context of a safe and trusting relationship.

It's through this relationship that we can develop an understanding of what's impeding someone's life and how best to proceed from there.

My post-graduate training includes:

• Post-Graduate Program in Couples Therapy, Post Graduate Center

• Post-Graduate Program in Group Therapy, Eastern Group Psychotherapy Association

• Post-Graduate Program in Self Psychology, Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology

• Somatic Experience Training Program.

I’ve written and given workshops on issues relating to mindfulness, stress reduction, fatherhood, work/life balance, and intercultural/interracial relationships.

I am a teacher of the New York Insight Meditation Center and serve on its board.
