Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 28 years of providing a wide range of clinical services to youth, adults, couples, and families who are confronted with myriad mental health challenges, including mood disorders, trauma, medical illness, relationship problems, grief, and loss. I have also presented and consulted on issues of body image, coping with chronic illness, and a host of work-related and wellness topics.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My goal is to bring the best of what I have learned during my career into the session. I am psychodynamic psychotherapist, but I always strive to be adaptable and integrative in treatment approaches for clients, as most lives have complexity and nuance. Many clients have realized benefits from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy, and additional specialized techniques when helpful to their process.

What you can expect from our first session

I am an engaged therapist whose purpose is to help my clients feel understood, and to provide a space that enables their trust in themselves and in the therapeutic process.
