I graduated from Boston University School of Social Work with concentrations in individual and group therapy. As an LICSW; book author (But Dad! A Survival Guide for Single Fathers of Tween and Teen Daughters), author of a column on single parenting (Vermont Woman newspaper) and clinical supervisor of graduate MSW interns, Psychiatry, and Family Practice residents I believe that wellness, balance and support are requirements for getting through challenges effectively.  Therapy focuses on growth in the face of stress(cancer, infertility, traumatic injury, depression/anxiety disorders), significant or difficult life transitions (marriage, divorce, parenting shifts) and re-establishing and strengthening individual and relationship wellness.

I believe times of pain, confusion and stress are times of opportunity to revisit and reignite what we may have forgotten about ourselves - our strengths, goals, values.  I believe in the human spirit's drive to thrive, not simply survive challenges. I will support you in making healthy decisions for a life well lived. I believe that two things can be true at once - There is great pain, AND we can get through it by not just bounding back but  bouncing forward because we grew.

If you don't feel hopeful right now, I will hold hope for you. I will support and guide you when you need it and celebrate your growth.
