Great to meet you!

From both my family background and an education in religion (BA) and behavioral sciences (MSW), I have learned the importance of being guided by ethical principles in making life choices. Through years of learning to balance family, working and social life, I have gained an understanding of the importance of forming and maintaining supportive relationships and managing expectations.

My approach to therapy

My Counseling approach, as a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist is both empathic and results oriented. I have particular interests and strengths in helping people work through issues of anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and social or relational difficulties.

What you can expect from me

Working together we will explore your background to establish who and what has informed your self understanding and life choices to the present. We will then focus on building the strengths and understanding you will need to make more satisfying life choices both now and in your future.
