About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing for 25 years. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults that suffer from ADHD, Depression and/or Anxiety. I use a variety of therapeutic methods to help my clients be the best version of themselves. I am also a Certified Menopause Coach and my current passion is working with woman suffering from perimenopause symptoms and struggles and help them thrive in midlife.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I will get to know you, explore the reason that brought you into therapy and start creating goals for treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with many clients over the years, however the last 10 years I have specialized with working with women with anxiety and depression. I have found a way to create a safe, non-judgmental space for all women to open up and be their true self.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with women at a turning point in their life, whether it be a new relationship, recent breakup/divorce, career change or perimenopause/menopause struggles. I will provide a space for clients to process this change, feel the loss and teach them new coping strategies to get them through this challenging time.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely-used therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. It is often used to treat a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I have worked with many clients, specifically women using CBT and Problem Solving Therapy overcome every day challenges—whether in romantic relationships, friendships, or work environments. I help clients foster healthier, more positive, and respectful relationships.

Supportive

I use Problem Solving Therapy (PST) to help clients with every day life stressors and challenges. I will work with clients as a coach, mentor and cheerleader to overcome those barriers that are keeping them from being their best version of themselves. I will provide weekly activities for my clients tailored just for them.

I enjoy having her as my therapist, she helps me walk through my issues and how to solve them and gives me good strategies to work it out. And she always communicate when there is a delay through message. I feel very comfortable talking to her, as well as letting her know how I feel about everything

It’s easy to talk to her and she’s very understanding, regarding my concerns and what I’m going through.
