About

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years experience. My style is person centered and easy going. Every person walks a unique path with unique challenges. I approach therapy as a chance to find lessons in difficulties and hidden strengths to be discovered and acknowledged. I’ve been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and in mindfulness. Specialities include low self esteem, depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress. I have worked with adults, children and teenagers.
