About me
I am an experienced behavioral therapist specializing in ADHD, chronic illness, and life transitions. I offer personalized, supportive care tailored to your unique needs.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Case Manager, I'm here to offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I work with individuals, couples, and families, creating personalized treatment plans that start from where you are—emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, or emotional struggles, my goal is to help you foster growth, strengthen connections, and improve overall well-being.
I offer private pay options for clients seeking greater flexibility, confidentiality, and control over their care. I also accept Medicare Part B and select insurance plans through a secure administrative platform. To make therapy more accessible, I offer adjusted fee options based on your financial comfort level.
Let’s start with a consultation to explore how we can work together. I’m here to support your journey—wherever you are in the process.
