Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors in varied settings such as outpatient mental health,

residential treatment, and private practice. I have received advanced training in Psychodynamic Approaches in Clinical Therapy from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies and Foundations in Family Therapy from the Ackerman Institute for the Family.

My approach to therapy

I combine my extensive experience with highly individualized psychotherapy services to address a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, interpersonal issues, and life transitions. I am experienced in practices including Psychodynamic Therapy, inner child healing work, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy, and more.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step towards healing and growth takes tremendous courage. I strive to hold a safe space for my clients to share their truth, while not imposing judgment in a welcoming environment to feel heard, validated, and understood. My goal is to motivate, encourage, educate, and support you on your journey to becoming your best self. Let me help you take the first step.
