Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice for 19+ years.

I enjoy working with couples, helping them to improve their communication and meet their desired relationship goals.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, by helping people to learn how to identify problematic thought patterns, then develop more positive patterns to improve their daily lives. I consider it a privilege to walk with people through their journey of change.

My approach to therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy- emphasizes what people think rather than what they do. By changing our thoughts, people can change how they feel and what they do.

Gestalt Therapy- This approach emphasizes the importance of being aware of the here and now, as well as accepting responsibility for yourself.

Psychodynamic- approach focuses on changing the problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering unconscious meanings and motivations.

What you can expect from me

Stronger communication skills, increased self-awareness and development of coping/ management skills.
