About me
Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted, or out of control? Do you have difficulty stopping a constant stream of worries? Have you suffered a trauma that prevents you from experiencing peace of mind? Do you want to feel happier with yourself and in your relationships? Therapy can help you. In a confidential relationship, we can explore the reasons for your unhappiness and find ways to overcome them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 48 years of experience in the treatment of individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive clinical experience in a wide range of emotional problems.
I offer an approach that considers your personal experiences. My clients request help for a variety of life challenges including some that originate in trauma or abuse, as well as those that arise from other painful experiences. I can help you feel safer, more confident and prepared for life.
Every person has the potential for emotional growth. I can help you heal your past, live in the present and brighten your future.
I offer therapy sessions in-person in a calm, comforting environment or online telehealth sessions. Let me know how I can help.
