My practice specializes in couples/relationship therapy. I believe the most important relationship you will ever have is your relationship with yourself.
As your therapist, I view my role not as expert, but as a fellow traveler-one who is applying what I share with you in my own life.
Like you, I do that some days better than others, but I am always trying to improve.
I earned my Masters Degree in social work from Columbia University, and worked as a clinical social worker for 20 years.
For the past 10 years I have been training extensively in couples therapy through the Relational Life Institute with Terry Real, and I am a certified RLT therapist.
I am currently training to be a Certified Enneagram Therapist.
I believe that the quality of our relationships affects every aspect of our lives. Being in healthy relationship not only to others, but also with ourselves, is imperative and requires skill and mindfulness.
In working with me, you will very likely cry, but you will also laugh, while gaining insight into your past and knowledge for how best to go forward.
When working with couples, I tell the truth with love. I am not afraid to hold partners accountable for their immature/harmful behavior. Clients have appreciated my warmth, my commitment to telling the truth with love, the care I show in the face of their pain, and the acceptance they experience when talking about things they may not have told anyone before.
