I am a Master's level Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in the following specialized areas: older adults, hospice/death & dying, general mental health counseling, addiction, and veterans/military and their families.
My approach to therapy centers around creating a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable and supported. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is key to helping clients navigate their struggles. I prefer to work collaboratively with my clients to develop strategies tailored to their unique needs. With years of experience in the field, I am skilled, knowledgeable, and feel confident treating PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Use Disorders, Panic Disorders, Chronic Pain, Complicated Grief and many other mental health concerns.
Clients can expect to take away a deeper sense of meaning and purpose from our sessions together. I'm inspired by Viktor Frankl’s belief that finding meaning in life, even through suffering, is key to psychological well-being, I work with clients to help them discover what truly matters to them. Together, we’ll explore their values and life goals, and create strategies to align their actions with these deeper truths. By the end of each session, I hope clients feel a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and the inner strength to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and a sense of meaning.
