I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Master Addiction Counselor, and Certified Anger Management Specialist. My practice philosophy is to treat the "whole person," addressing each client's physical, emotional, social, spiritual and cultural needs. I do this by creating and promoting conditions conductive to personal growth and development.
I provide solution-focused treatment using mindfulness interventions that aim to help individuals attain optimal functioning at home, work, and in society.
My clinical expertise and many years of experience include work with individuals in crisis, survivors of emotional and physical abuse/trauma, the LGBTQ community, and persons addressing issues related to addictions, grief/loss, self-esteem and stress. I have over 30 years of experience as a therapist.
It takes courage to take that first step towards changing your life. If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you towards taking that step in shifting your life.
I look forward to working with you!
