Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with over 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in women’s issues, divorce, dating, remarriage, stepfamilies, stress management, and chronic mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies like CBT, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Attachment Theory. I also offer life and job coaching, support for self-esteem, grief, and managing aging parents.

What you can expect from me

Patients will come away with a feeling of being heard and understood.
