About You

What is holding you back from having your best, most satisfying life?

  • Difficulty with mood or relationships?
  • Pain due to injury or chronic condition?
  • Patterns of thought and behavior that don’t work for you?

Are you ready to begin to change that?

You already have everything you need within you to establish new patterns of thought and action that will bring you closer to the life you want. You need to be reminded of that and to receive assistance to develop skills to achieve your goals.

“One Size Fits All” does not really work in almost any of the spheres of our existence and most certainly not here. Each person is different and requires a customized approach, tailored to individual needs, to create achievable goals based on your individual needs and resources.

As we work together, you’ll take the time we will both get clear about what you need, what you want and what resources you have available now and any you might need to develop.

About Me

The most important things in my life are relationships; relationships
between people, and among groups of people; between people and animals,
between people and the environment.

In my professional life, I’m a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker living and working in Brooklyn.

In my role as therapist, I might act as partner for reflection, a guide, an educator or a coach. This can take place in-person or virtually; in individual sessions, group sessions or in other experiences, such as presentations or workshops,

I have access to a number of different approaches and I’ll use them as our work together evolves to assist you to identify your issues, find resources and work together with you to find solutions, but more importantly to free you to achieve joy in your life!

As social justice and environmental activist and advocate, I see my role as primarily in the realm of communication.  I engage with others to form alliances and encourage listening before speaking, in order to move toward an alternative to the kind of polarized positions from which we limit our choices and miss opportunities for real conversation.

These are some of the experiences that shaped me and allowed some insight into a variety of situations:
