Great to meet you!

I'm glad you're here! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 20 years, I have found that reaching out for help is the hardest step for some. I hope I can help you move forward with that step. I offer experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and parenting issues. I also specialize in working with healthcare professionals and first responders. Please be aware I am unable to offer evening or weekend appointments. Appointment hours are M-Th 9:30-3:30 and F 10-1.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client centered primarily focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. It's important that you feel safe and comfortable in our sessions. Honest communication is key to success so I can help you feel better and reach your goals.

What you can expect from me

When therapy begins, it's a process led by you. I will guide you through this process and challenge you if needed. I strive to create a warm environment using humor when appropriate to decrease stress. I hope to help you determine what changes YOU want to make.
