Great to meet you!

Hello, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing clinical services. My experience includes working with individuals of various backgrounds and life experiences, who are dealing with life transitions, depression, anxiety and trauma. One specific area of treatment is working with individuals dealing with grief and loss.

My approach to therapy

My treatment approach is eclectic with a heavy focus on Strength Based, Client Centered and Solution Focused modalities.

My priorities as your therapist are to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows you to feel safe, respected, and heard, so you can address life stressors and experiences that limit your ability to achieve the level of happiness, hopefulness and satisfaction you desire. I am committed to empowering you and reconnecting you to your inner strength.

What you can expect from me

Seeking therapy may be a difficult decision to make, but I applaud you for taking steps to prioritize yourself and your mental health. I welcome the opportunity to assist you during this process! I am here to help you face your challenges, fears and traumas. Let’s begin to address and unravel some of the challenges which have prevented you from being your best self and living your best life. Together, we can explore the things that make you happy and contribute to a life well-lived. Based on your identified goals, we will create a treatment plan to address those concerns. I will walk with you through the process of healing.
