Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience helping adolescents, adults and couples identify thought patterns and behaviors that are no longer working for them. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy through Behavioral Tech. These strategies are proven to help people regulate emotions and promote positive change. This is especially true with my work with first responders, adolescents and individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and trauma.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Through clear and concrete interventions and strategies, I can help you learn effective coping skills resulting in a meaningful and joyous life. If you are a couple experiencing relationship challenges, I can help you get your relationship back on track by using evidence-based strategies that foster connection and improve communication.

What you can expect from our first session

If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, or a difficult life transition, contact me today. I am dedicated to helping people who are struggling and feel like they can’t afford to waste any more time or energy and need change now.
