I enjoy helping individuals and couples overcome whatever is preventing them from experiencing greater health, emotional well-being and fulfillment in their lives. For over 28 years, as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I have provided counseling to clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, loss, recovery issues, career change, as well as creative blocks. In addition to my clinical expertise, I bring warmth, compassion and humor to each session, along with a deep respect for clients' strengths and experiences.
In therapy we will explore if any patterns of thinking, feeling and/or behaving, along with any external factors, may be blocking you from achieving your goals. As you become aware of these habitual responses and the role they may have played, you can experience greater self-acceptance and live more fully and effectively in the present.
Therapy is based on creating a safe, collaborative relationship. I will focus our work on your specific needs, drawing upon a variety of approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, solutions-focused, meditation, and coaching. I am happy to talk with you to explore how we can work together.
