Great to meet you!

Hello! I am practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker but am also a Registered Nurse with both inpatient and outpatient experience. I believe that with help and support, one can overcome almost anything. We live in very trying times, and stress/anxiety is overwhelming at times. You don't have to face it alone. I have helped clients/patients' childhood through senior years' work through issues of Anxiety, Depression, Grief as well as other mood disorders. Can I help you?

My approach to therapy

I try to be creative, open minded and down to earth- never judgmental. I like to use humor where possible, and to focus on what can be and how to get there. Patient education, mindfulness, perspective and self-worth are stressed.

What you can expect from me

A better understanding of how to manage life's challenges while continuing to grow as a person and learn resilience and coping skills
