Background Information:

I am a NC Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have gained far reaching experience over the past twenty years as a social worker and therapist investing in the lives of children, adults, couples and families. I held the position of the Director of the Domestic Abuse Services of the YWCA of Greenwich in Connecticut giving me the opportunity to both counsel and educate individuals and the community on the issue of family violence. Helping couples learn effective ways of communicating and understand better ways of dealing with life stressors is an area of my practice that I find very rewarding. Issues of infertility, post partum mood disorders and problems related to a pregnancy may be seen as primarily a women's issue, but these definitely impact the relationship between the couple and the family unit. Helping the couple and family access the necessary resources and also learn better coping skills is an area of my expertise. I have also spent several years helping patients and their families navigate through the process of dealing with an unexpected diagnosis of a life threatening illness. In my practice therapy is provided in a creative,nurturing, supportive and empathetic environment. I provide both daytime and evening appointments.
