(she/her)
I have over 3 decades of experience working in the fields of mental health and social work. I work with youth, adults, families, and couples who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, relationship issues, and school refusal. Prior to private practice, I worked in academia as an administrator of social work programs and as a medical social worker.
I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you can be who you are. Through trust and courage, my goal is to walk you, openly and honestly, through the therapy process. My approach to therapy is person-centered and trauma- informed. I utilize evidence-based and eclectic models such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, and IFS when working with individuals, families, couples, and groups.
I am a solution focused, affirming, non-judgmental, humorous, and open-minded clinician
I have spent my career learning and translating theories into practice with individuals, families, couples, and groups. For the last few years, I've gained deeper knowledge working with trauma, anxiety, couples, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I apply a combination of EMDR for trauma, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI) with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

An eclectic model is used with all clients because a "one size fits all" approach is unrealistic with today's complex problems.
ACT is used when clients must learn to understand and accept their thoughts and feelings. The goal is to adjust behaviors to better match one's values and to live in the present moment.
CBT is used to help people manage their thoughts and behaviors to improve their mental and emotional health. It is often sed with anxiety and depression.
