If you want real and lasting change to life's challenges, then I'm who you want to see. I have a proven track record of helping people handle issues related to career, family stress, trauma, and grief. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Syracuse University. My philosophy is that there is more right with you than wrong with you! I utilize a strengths-based model while incorporating a solution-focused approach in a very compassionate and empathic way. Sometimes just doing one thing differently can lead to positive changes in our life! I am very straightforward and transparent and will challenge you to make changes while working with you to identify the root cause of the problem and find lasting solutions that work for you.
