Great to meet you!

I have been a therapist for over 50 years. I have a great deal of experience and have been in my own therapy so I know both sides of therapy. I am a Masters Level Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Four years ago I was exposed to Richard Schwartz and fell in love with his Internal Family Systems Model. I felt this is the model I’ve been looking for all my life. That’s the model I use in working with clients.

My approach to therapy

Being open and listening to understand what brings you to therapy and what is your hope and desire for how therapy can help you.

What you can expect from me

A warm welcome with an open mind. A person that listens and wants to understand the client and what brings them to therapy and what is their hope that therapy can give them.
