I have worked in different settings within the community, working with all ages and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, Autism, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD. I have experience with doing individual work as well as family therapeutic work. I believe in collaboratively working with my clients and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. My goal is to support my clients through their journeys. If you are looking to learn more about yourself and how to better navigate through current and past issues, I am here to help.

My ideal client leads with curiosity and seeks authentic reconnection with self. They have a desire to express their thoughts and emotions in connection to their experiences. My ideal client hopes to build self-esteem, self-confidence, and coping skills to navigate their emotions, relationships, and life experiences.

My ideal client's intention is to improve their relationship with themselves and others and enhance their overall quality of life.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions, changing careers, going through grief or loss, experiencing anxiety, looking for support with trauma, developing coping skills, or just seeking support with the messiness of life. I want to work with clients who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and make a commitment to creating space for themselves to work through their current patterns that are no longer serving them. I meet the person where they are at and understand what ways they would like to make changes in their life.

I have provided psychotherapy focused on anxiety, depression and trauma for over 30 years. During that time, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My focus is on helping my clients to see their own strengths and use them to reduce their symptoms, allowing them to become unstuck and move forward to establish happier, healthier lives. I have a strong focus on transitions of all types. These include the transitions of adolescents from childhood to young adulthood, and the difficulty inherent in transitioning from being the parent of a toddler, to being the parent of a challenging adolescent.

Be it identity, family, friend, work/school or a past traumatic event, my focus is on helping you sort things out to improve your quality of life.

I work with adults, from college-age to elderly. My practice appeals to people who who not only suffer from symptoms that impede their daily happiness, but those who long to grow in their understanding of themselves and others. I aid in this process by focusing closely on the unique talents each person brings into the room. I look not for what is wrong but what is right and simply ask that they bring an honest willingness to participate in a partnership for change.

I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years experience working with adolescents, adults and elderly clients.

I have a deep respect for the resiliency of people and help clients tap into their own strengths.

Maybe you are a "people pleaser", constantly torn between your own wishes and a sense of duty to others. Or you keep finding yourself in romantic relationships with the same kind of partner who cannot meet your needs. Perhaps you feel that something is just off and you can't figure out why.
