I been working as a social worker for the past 25 years in different capacities. I have always wanted to help individuals in need. As I was growing up my teachers noticed that I was compassionate and caring as my classmates would come to me for help. I want to continue helping adults that are struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss. I hope to empower each individual to share their journey to begin their healing.

In my practice I used different modalities and collaborate with you starting from the first session.

I believe you are the expert. We will explore what brought you into therapy, discuss your treatment goals and we will work together on what works for you. During our time together you will begin your journey to process and address your symptoms. You will be very active in your healing.

Provide psychoeducation, coping skills and build resources to help reduce symptoms.
