I enjoy being a therapist and helping people build resiliency to overcome challenges that result in personal and family relationship difficulties. My passion and my interests are in identifying mental health solutions that improve the well-being and over all healthiness and happiness for brighter, better days. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience providing individual, family and group therapy to children, and adolescents. On a personal level, I enjoy my days at home with my family & my best friend- my little, not so little puggle dog, Rizzo. I enjoy traveling & exploring beautiful places. I also love to cook and share meals with family & friends.
