Great to meet you!

My passion is helping others find the courage, wisdom and strength that is in them. I work with teens and adults. I particularly love empowering girls and women. I have been a social worker for over 30 years and still love what I do. I have a Master of Science in Social Work degree, am Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have trained as a professional homeopath, a type of holistic medicine.

My approach to therapy

My practice is focused on supporting healthier self image, relationships, and life satisfaction. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and grief. My clients often struggle with overthinking and negative self talk. I'm passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where individuals feel empowered to make positive changes in their lives.

What you can expect from me

I would love to be a safe place for you to talk and sort through thoughts and feelings. We can help you gain new perspectives and learn healthy coping skills and send you on your way in life.
