I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Dominican University and for the past decade I have continued to discover new methods to assist my clients.

I enjoy doing work on parenting and improving family functioning by treating the whole family system. Of particular interest to me is helping individuals who are on the autism spectrum and their families learn healthy ways to find success in daily life. I also enjoy working with young adults who have cognitive and developmental challenges transition towards independence.

I enjoy helping those on a journey toward better self-awareness around their emotional life, satisfaction in relationships, and getting through what seems stuck. Counseling is a place to feel safe to explore difficult relationships or past or current trauma. I want my clients to feel advocated for, and to find a deeper understanding of self and gain insight into how our past affects present relationships and struggles. Finding your true-self is so important. Skill building and assertiveness training are also a part of the therapy I do. My experience for the last 22 years has been in individual therapy with kids, teens, and adults.
