About me
I am an experienced licensed master's social worker who is committed to helping people make positive changes in their lives related to depression, anxiety and trauma because of past or current relationships and/or life events.
Having worked with people challenged by chronic illness, relationships conflicts, parenting issues and aging problems for over 30 years, I have found some transitions need the assistance a counselor and a safe space to work through your personal goals. By using a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy and Brief Solution Focused Therapy, individualized to help you make the changes you want to make in your life, I have seen many of my clients notice a reduction in their anxiety and/or depression in a short period of time.
Life gets busy and there's never enough time for yourself. My flexible schedule allows me to meet with you on weekdays and nights. I can meet with you on-line or in person, whatever works best for you. Therapy is about you and for you! Please contact me via email or phone to discuss insurance options.
