Great to meet you!

I have counseling experience with adults, older adults, and families; specializing in grief and loss, trauma, stress, life transitions, adjustment, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, caregiving, aging, and end-of-life. If you just aren't sure you are ready or need your questions answered please reach out, I offer free 15-minute consultations.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in social services and the mental health field. I use different therapy models depending on the client’s unique needs; cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strength-based and solution-focused therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether you are feeling lost, vulnerable, overwhelmed, depressed, experiencing a difficult life transition, or just looking for a change, my overall goal is to help you find that needed balance and improve your quality of life. I aim to create a comfortable, flexible, and safe space.
