About

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse problems, women's issues, young adult issues and Veteran's issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

When human beings experience severe stress and trauma, daily life can become overwhelming and very difficult. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual and so it is my passion to help my clients find healthy ways to cope and find solutions to strengthen and heal themselves. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
