PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I am a psychotherapist (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with a private practice in Boston and Truro (Cape Cod) Massachusetts and over 25 years experience.

I am flexible in my therapeutic approaches and tailor my work to your particular needs. I have taught at the graduate level at the Simmons College School of Social Work in Boston and continue to teach and provide consultation to medical and mental health practitioners nationally and internationally. With a mixture of warmth and professionalism, I am known for my ability to create a comfortable and collaborative setting for my clients in order to help them reach their goals for a more satisfying life. I am available to meet in my Boston or Cape Cod offices, or to have sessions over the telephone or internet.

Training
I received a Master's in Social Work in 1985 from the Simmons College School of Social Work in Boston, MA. Since then, I have completed a number of postgraduate training programs, continually expanding my knowledge base in the newest and most effective treatment approaches used in the field of psychotherapy. These studies include advanced courses with some of the most highly influential teachers/practitioners worldwide.
