With over 34 years of practice, I am a Social Work, Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapist dedicated to helping adolescents, adults and seniors navigate substance abuse, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My practice focuses on building practical coping skills to manage complex challenges, foster resilience, and improve overall well being.
In working with adolescents, I focus on guiding teens through identity formation, peer pressure, academic stress, and behavioral transitions stemming from outside influences. In addiction counseling, I provide support for adolescents, adults and seniors through substance abuse and recovery, relapse prevention, and uncovering the root causes of addiction. When working with clients who face chronic illness and health conditions, I assist individuals and loved ones navigate the emotional, psychological, and lifestyle adjustments required. I provide trauma informed care to help survivors, process past events, manage their triggers and reclaim their sense of safety. I teach practical, evidence-based strategies to quiet unhelpful thought patterns and manage daily symptoms of depression and anxiety.
