I possess a strong 12-Step program background, and also work with clients who do not fit in the 12 Step programs. I work with individuals, couples and families. The approach is tailored to most effectively interact with each unique situation.

My desire to work with people in achieving their goals and living satisfying lives has always been present. As I have moved through the challenges of my own life, it has become my primary interest. I have seen enough to convince me that a commitment to having a great life combined with openness to the ideas and support of qualified others makes anything possible.

I received my education from Fordham University, am licensed by the State of New York as a clinical therapist. Being a therapist is a second profession; having worked in the investment banking business for more than twenty years in roles varying from technical analyst to senior project manager.
