I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R)  experienced in working with adults, families and children/adolescents. I have a post graduate degree in family therapy from the Ackerman Institute in New York City, the most respected family therapy training program in the country. I have worked at Four Winds Hospital with children and adolescents experiencing significant emotional and behavioral issues, and Connecticut Hospice, the leading stand-alone hospice facility in the area.

I offer traditional, brief and mindfulness based work with individuals, couples and families.   For the past decade I have been working with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which is a combination of eastern and western practices. DBT helps people learn how to control their emotions, instead of having their emotions control them.  It is a clear and comfortable way to address problems with depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, impulsivity and relationship problems.  I focus post graduate training in helping survivors, people who struggle with learning disabilities, Reactive Attachment Disorder and intimacy issues. I also provide workshops and seminars to organizations, schools and universities, as well as groups in DBT and Coping Skills.
