Great to meet you!

Welcome and thank you for reading my profile.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of experience working with children, teens, families and adults. I have also been a teacher (k-5) and am a parent (2 and 4 legs). Specialities include: special education students, military families, first responders and medical illness/pain management.

My approach to therapy

I tend to be based neurocognitively but I am versed in multiple modalities. As you are unique, my style incorporates your thinking skills, values, motivation, strengths, expectations and solutions. My approach is to provide a safe and validating therapeutic experience, no matter the age or clinical concerns.

What you can expect from me

My style includes you feeling listened to and heard, starting from the first introductory session. From there, we will develop jointly your goals and the steps to achieve them.
