Great to meet you!

I have been a practicing Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years. In addition, in the last 20 years I have had a special concentration in working with teens.

It is truly my honor to work with you to help you find a pathway leading toward healing and personal growth I look forward to helping you on your journey!

My approach to therapy

I believe it is very important to create a safe place for trust and openness to grow. I will help you feel heard and understood by listening with empathy and compassion. Together we will work towards developing the insight, tools, and skills needed to help and guide you toward fulfillment and reaching your goals.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will talk about what brought you to therapy. We will spend time getting to know eachother and work to create a comfortable and safe setting for sharing. I will also explain how the therapy process works in my practice. Together, we will formulate what your goals are and begin to determine a treatment plan specifically tailored for you.
