Therapist Overview
I have been in the field of social work since 1966 and have been a clinician since 1983., working in NYC for 13 years and in Ulster County for 35 years. My experience has included every aspect of social work, but my practice has evolved into the treatment of alcohol and drug abusers. I emphasize addiction as a family disease and counsel members of the family with or without the user. I also treat anxiety and depressive disorders with much success. I feel my varied and long experience in the field qualifies me to work .with anyone regardless of ethnicity, gender, or economic background. In my work, I utilize the 12 Steps of AA, NA, and AL-Anon. If people are uncomfortable with 12 Step programs, I offer other methodologies. I occaissionally recommend use of anti depressives,only if I feel this will benefit the client. This is especially so with clients who suffer from anxiety or. depressive disorders.
