“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”(Mary Oliver)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Paltz, NY

About My Clients

My specializations include women & children, couples, families, LGBTQ, health and wellness, spirituality, life coaching, coping with emotional and life stressors, and life transitions. The pandemic has been an overwhelming & challenging time, presenting a great deal of adversity for all. Adversity can be a time for reflection, to go within. This current season of disconnection, fear & uncertainty can be an opportunity for growth and with sound support and guidance can awaken & ease suffering.

My Background and Approach

I earned my Masters in Social Work in 1997 from Fordham University and have been practicing since. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years experience. My style is nurturing & person centered, with a positive psych process. Mindfulness and present moment curiosity is often incorporated with a cognitive therapy approach . My practice is primarily e-therapy based coast to coast and spanning the globe. I have worked with diverse individuals, couples & families, adolescents, young adults/college students and persons with varying sexual orientations & gender identities.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that relationships are fundamental to our well-being & the most essential relationship is the one we have with ourselves. That’s where the work begins for all other relationships to thrive. This has been a long held belief of mine for as long as I can remember. Helping others and making a difference has been a lifelong calling. Serving and caring for living beings be they human, animal or nature are at the core of my purpose on the planet. I believe we are all connected and dependent upon each other. I also believe in self care and not taking ourselves to seriously. For me, it's about balance. Family, Nature and Playtime...all vital. I am a life long learner, always striving to hone my skills for professional and personal gain.
