Your time with me could very well become a springboard for change and improvement in your life. I am an optimist by nature, and I am enthusiastic and energetic in my desire to help people gain new skills and develop greater resilience for all the challenges life inevitably presents.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in providing individual and couples therapy and counseling for children, teens, and adults. In addition, I provide academic/career coaching, executive coaching, coaching for working performing and creative artists, and organizational consultation. I have more than twenty years of experience helping others, and I have been in solo private practice in Greenwich, Connecticut since 1996.
My approach is practical, interactive, and solution-focused. I provide support and useful feedback to help people resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. In addition, I draw upon a variety of styles and techniques in order to be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build upon their strengths and to identify and achieve life goals... enhancing personal effectiveness, motivation, and performance along the way.
I graduated from Oberlin College with both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music (performance) degrees. After eight years working in marketing and management within the field of International Education, I decided to change careers. I received my MSSW, with a clinical concentration, from Columbia University in 1990.
In addition to private practice, I have worked in busy clinic and family service agency settings, and I once ran a telephone crisis-counseling service staffed by more than 150 volunteers. I am an inveterate traveler, and I have a basic working knowledge of French, German, and Italian.
