About Me

I read and subscribe to the idea that instead of a patient needing a clinician to offer treatment, a client seeks the assistance of a counselor as more of a confidential teammate for improving a bio-psycho-social aspect of her/his life.


I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1997 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, making a mid-life career change to help those struggling with a variety of issues--anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance and other addictions, recovery, grief and loss, family, relationship, life transitions and adjustment difficulties--anything negatively impacting one's daily functioning, happiness, quality of life.
