Sometimes you need someone to talk to who is not personally involved in your situation. Someone who will listen, without judgment and offer unbiased feedback. Whether you're struggling with anxiety; depression; uncertainty about a relationship; family, work or school stress; life transitions; or just life in general, therapy can be a place to work through those feelings and come up with solutions.

I have been in private practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2003. My past experiences include completing psychiatric evaluations in an emergency department, working in a psychiatric hospital, a residential treatment facility for children and adolescents, a halfway house for adults with substance abuse issues, and at a nursing home/rehabilitation center.

My approach is interactive, utllizing evidence-based psychology, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and holistic and spiritual approaches according to client interest. I work with individuals and couples. I believe that much of the success of therapy depends on a comfortable fit between the individual and the therapist. I look forward to meeting you to see if we are a good match.
