Welcome to my website. I am happy to share with you information about my practice. In collaboration we evaluate the issues that bring you to therapy and draw from therapeutic models that are appropriate to your goals. In our work together, I partner with you and support you to increase self-awareness, strengthen relationships, learn and practice skills, and make life changes. I balance acceptance, compassion and empathy with a results-oriented approach. The process supports the outcome.

Working with children and adolescents requires an up-to-date understanding of school-related issues. I give back to my profession and learn from other social workers by providing general and school social work training supervision.
As a native Clevelander, I am deeply committed to providing sound and effective treatment in the communities I serve.
Collaboration and communication are critical to good care and I believe wholeheartedly in a team approach. I work to keep the lines of communication open with parents, teachers, school personnel, and other providers.
My office is located inside a re-purposed original Shaker Heights school building in a quiet neighborhood. This is a change of pace from the usual office building environment that I hope you find comforting and peaceful.
Please note the entrance to the building is on Falmouth Road.
