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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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!
