I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have engaged individuals, teens and couples in a variety of settings addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict as well as professional and vocational issues.

I have a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and over 25 years of professional experience. Over the years I have used and custom created many therapeutic approaches, techniques and helped improve clients’ perspectives to help them move forward. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in the therapy process by setting their own goals and evaluating progress towards achieving them. Finally, I am concerned about all aspects of a client’s life including your physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being. I am informal, transparent, and very open; ask me anything! Nothing is “off-limits” during good therapy, and I encourage clients to bring any issues/concerns they may have to the sessions. I value being a very safe, accepting haven for my clients. I see individuals over 18 y/o and couples. Thank you for allowing me to share my background with you. Here are a few reviews of my work from current individual clients: "Having worked with Brian for over a year now, I can say confidently that his approach to therapy is extremely effective. He is a master at guiding you to a better understanding of yourself - he allows you to form your own conclusions, while offering his own insight along the way, which is invaluable. If you’re looking to connect better with yourself, and truly understand WHY you are how you are, I cannot recommend him enough." " I have had the privilege of working with Brian as my therapist, and I can say without hesitation that his support has been deeply impactful in my life. He is incredibly insightful and thoughtful in his approach, always meeting me with patience, respect, and a sincere desire to understand my perspective. Brian creates a space that feels genuinely safe—never judgmental, always grounded in kindness and open-mindedness. His ability to balance professional guidance with compassionate listening has helped me make meaningful progress in how I view myself and the world around me. I am truly grateful for the work we’ve done together and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who brings wisdom, integrity, and heart to their practice."
