I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in treating Anxiety and Trauma. I help adults and teens develop tools to feel more relaxed, confident and secure so they can live the life they envision. I provide individual and family therapy, and support parents in developing skills for navigating their teen's anxiety.
As a therapist with 30 + years of experience, I believe there's no one size fits all approach. I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. I want my clients to feel respected and understood no matter how difficult or uncomfortable things in their life may be. Clients describe me as down to earth and practical with a kind sense of humor. Having a therapist who can be real with you and who you can just be yourself with is important. Whether you need to cry, laugh or cuss I am there with you.
Sometimes when people enter therapy, they don’t feel very hopeful. I help my clients develop self-compassion and coping skills to increase feelings of hope that change is not only possible but within reach. Therapy will help you understand and accept all the parts of yourself - even the ones you find difficult. In therapy you can show up just as you are. You won’t need to sensor what you say during sessions. You’ll still be you but with new strategies and skills for managing challenges.
