About me
I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with teens, adults, and families. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief and loss related to chronic illness and cancer, and offer a safe, affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.
Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Connecting with someone new, and having a safe place free of judgment is important, and I strive to offer that. I will offer you a secure, supportive environment to help you focus on the goals that are specific to your needs. I offer a client-centered, eclectic combination of therapeutic approaches, in an authentic, relatable way. If you are feeling uncertain about whether to move forward, know that you are not alone, and we can take those steps together.!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maine & Massachusetts with 12 years of experience. I work with individuals, couples & families. I have been certified as a Transgender Care Therapist, intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), & have over 6 years of experience working with patients & families impacted by cancer.
I offer a free initial phone consultation to answer questions and determine your comfort with moving forward. I offer a sliding fee scale, and flexible scheduling, to promote increased access for all who seek self improvement.
