I'm an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with a masters degree in social work. I have almost 30 years' experience treating adult individuals and couples and absolutely love what I do. My goal with each and every client is to help them on the road from life challenges to becoming the best version of themselves. I accomplish this through collaborative work and an eclectic approach to resolving trauma and addressing issues including trauma, relationship challenges, depression, and anxiety, to name a few.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll be taking some time to get acquainted and I'll be learning about what it is that led you to decide to start therapy. I'll be asking questions about the circumstances around your situation and together, we'll start to create some goals around what you're hoping to get out of the experience. If this is your first time going to therapy, I'll demystify it a bit by explaining what the process of starting therapy will look like and what to expect in our future sessions. We'll also decide the frequency at which you wish to start based on your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience over the years has led me to be able to hone in on some of the underlying issues that you may not even be aware are at-play in your daily life. We'll also develop rapport and work as a team to help you accomplish your goals and become the best version of yourself.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adult individuals and couples who are struggling with life transitions, relationship challenges, traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety. My clients are curious, willing to challenge their perceptions of themselves and the world, open to questions and feedback, and ready for change.

Trauma Informed Care
With almost 30 years' experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma at some point in their lives, I'm able to help clients make connections between their lived experiences and their current challenges. With this information, I seek to assist clients in finding collaborative care and solutions for relationship and sexual issues, depression, and anxiety.
Attachment-based
Having worked with couples and individuals throughout my almost 30 years as a therapist, it's become apparent that our attachment style dictates much of how we view and navigate the world and our relationships within it. Attachment styles are rooted in childhood experiences, but play out in our daily lives in relationships, parenting, work, and friendships. Understanding your attachment style and how it affects you can be key to being able to create a clearer pathway to healing and progress toward your goals, helping you effect the changes you want to see.
Eclectic
Having experience and training in multiple modalities, including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, psychodynamic, and EFT, I've taken the best parts of each of these and integrated them into my therapeutic style. By doing this, clients can benefit from a variety of approaches rather than a one-fits-all stye of therapy, allowing the approach to be flexible and tailored to the needs of the individual.
