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.

A bit about 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 our first session

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