I am a licensed clinical social worker in both NJ and PA.
I have ten years of experience in child welfare; over ten years of experience working on inpatient psychiatric units with adults and older adults; and ten years of experience supervising an acute partial hospitalization program for patients with severe mental health and substance abuse issues. I have maintained part time work providing individual and couples therapy over the last twenty year period because I love being a part of therapeutic change in peoples’ lives.
As a psychotherapist, my focus is on providing a strengths based approach, helping patients to challenge distortions in their thinking, recognize unhealthy behavioral patterns, and challenge maladaptive coping skills they may have. I work to help patients recognize their attributes and work towards goals that will improve their mood, and get them back into life. I work to create a safe and supportive environment for all of my patients.
