Deborah

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty-five years of experience working with individuals and couples. In my work with couples, I have experience attending to issues at all life stages, having worked with couples who are thinking about getting married or living together, who are starting a family or parenting children and teens, who are adjusting to life as empty-nesters, or who are addressing illness or end-of-life issues. I draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks, but my work with couples is particularly informed by the Developmental Model of Couple Therapy; I aim not only to assist couples in the therapeutic space, but also to help them learn the skills they need to manage challenges on their own. While my focus is on the relationship, I believe that couples can best deepen their intimacy and connection to the extent that they also know themselves as individuals.
