My Passion Is Helping Others Succeed
My path to becoming a therapist began long before I started formal education. I've always had a knack for connecting with people, offering them a listening ear and a safe place to share and their thoughts, struggles and seek advice. This natural ability to encourage deep, meaningful conversations guided me toward a career in therapy.
I pursued this calling by earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The State University of New York at Albany, with a minor in Business Administration. After working in business management for several years, I returned to my passion of helping others and furthered my education with a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University. I love to learn about new theories in my field, and I attend continuing education classes when I am able.
As a clinical social worker, I will listen to you and support you through whatever your current life challenges are. I will help you to make lasting changes that lead you to be less stressed or anxious and to be happier and more satisfied in your personal life, your relationships and even in your professional life.
In 1997, I founded Perspectives Counseling Center, where for over 25 years, I've blended my skills of running a small business with my therapeutic expertise to help my clients succeed in finding the life they want and the good mental health they deserve.
My approach to therapy is "person-centered" meaning that we are just 2 people trying to help you overcome your stresses and become the best you you can be. Yes, I have a lot therapy skills to help you, but you are the expert in you! Everything we do in your therapy, is tailored to your individual needs.
