Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of counseling experience. I have a Master's degree with a concentration in Health and Mental Health from the University of Pittsburgh. Although I have years of experience as a Bachelor's level Social Worker, my professional practice began in 1996. I have concentrated my work in the fields of adoption, addictions and mental health working in a variety of clinical settings.

My approach to therapy

I am a client-centered therapist who brings a direct, empathic approach to my work with clients. I treat all clients with respect as individuals and I am able to engage well with clients of all ages and backgrounds

What you can expect from me

Clients can be assured they will be heard by a compassionate, supportive therapist who is dedicated to helping them work toward their own therapeutic goals at their own pace. My hope is that clients will feel better emotionally and be more prepared to manage life's challenges in a healthy, productive and personally meaningful way.
