Overview
During the 20 years I have worked as a psychotherapist I have had the opportunity to provide clinical services along side Medical staff, Psychiatrists, Psychologists and other LCSW/R colleagues. My focus of treatment is to help people to cope with and manage their personal and individual psychosocial and/or mental health issues. During the span of my career I have worked in different capacities as a therapist, a clinical supervisor or as a Director of a OMH Article 31 mental health clinic. Currently, I am working as a clinician consultant with CHE Psychological Services. Private therapy sessions are held on the Zoom platform. I consider my style to be “realist” and try to help individuals learn to express their emotions, depression, anxiety or isolation. Once a person has a safe place to confidentially express their emotions and symptoms and experience validation, then the clinical treatment process can begin. Therapeutic goals are geared towards improving a person’s emotional state both today and in the future. Through talk therapy I help a person identify their strengths and then foster the development of various coping techniques to manage symptoms, overcome barriers, all of which interfere with their quality of life. This type of therapeutic work will help to improve social networks, career goals and interpersonal relationships.
Sessions are available in person at partner facilities and via secure telehealth, so care fits the realities of each patient's day.
