Great to meet you!

P​racticing as a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years in the roles of vocational rehab specialist, therapist and manager of IOP programs, director of care for licensed healthcare providers​, and outpatient therapist. I continue to work with adults (18 an​d older) from all backgrounds​, focus​ing on anxiety and mood disorders, including those accompanied by substance use disorders.

My approach to therapy

I utilize integrative psychotherapy to treat relationship, family and work challenges, exploring roles and the choices which can complicate our connections to others and limit our ability to reach our goals. I use supportive and sometimes challenging feedback along with humor when appropriate, to help gain insights and new perspectives into difficult roles and relationships.

What you can expect from me

Therapy sessions will be used to increase awareness of your strengths and challenges, and to set personal goals that support a greater sense of fulfillment.
