As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with adults across the life-span, including recent high school graduates and college students navigating the transition to independence as well as adults in other stages of life. I use a variety of therapies to treat a range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, trauma, and other life difficulties. In addition, I have specialized training in the LEAP method for gaining medication compliance for people suffering from psychosis. I also have extensive training and experience treating personality disorders, including borderline personality disorder.
Each person is unique and I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. I use a variety of therapies, such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mentalization based therapy (MBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and others.
Life is full of challenges. How we respond to those challenges has a direct impact on our quality of our life. My passion is helping people to live beyond their perceived limits and overcome the challenges they face. Let us work together to build the life you want to live. Please call or email me if you are interested in working together.
