Hi! I am an LCSW with 21 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families find practical solutions to complicated problems. I love helping people and bring a compassionate, realistic approach based on a trusting therapeutic relationship. I work with couples and families, help teens through their life transitions, and specialize in treating addictions, ADHD, anxiety disorders, and intimacy and sex issues.
In a first session with me, we'll introduce ourselves, and you'll get a chance to tell me what kind of help you're needing. By the second session, you'll have an idea of goals to start working towards.
Having 21 years of experience, I have developed a strong understanding of how to connect with my clients, encourage them to improve, and help them hold themselves accountable for their own personal growth. I believe that everyone has the ability to find hope, to grow and improve, and to really develop the self confidence to be the very best version of themselves!
I utilize a 12-24 session protocol including worksheets, podcasts, books and other social media resources to boost your practice outside of session.
My training in Functional Family Therapy informs how I approach my work with couples and I utilize DBT skills to help couples in conflict.
I have over 20 years of experience working with all types of families. I love seeing how quickly people grow and improve with just a few sessions!
For people with issues like ADHD, addiction, anxiety and Bipolar Disorder, mood regulation can be improved with simple mindfulness tools.
