About me

Hello, thank you for reading my site. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience working with clients in the public and private sector. I have provided supportive therapy to clients dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD , substance abuse/dependence, relationship issues, parenting problems and career challenges. I also have helped people who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and engaging with a non-judgmental approach , showing sensitivity and compassion to help clients have a successful therapeutic experience. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing and client centered therapy to help clients meet their goals. I will tailor our interactions to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to pursue a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
