About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR therapist with over 30 years of experience working with adults and older adults navigating a wide range of emotional and life challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, and the complex transitions that can arise throughout adulthood—such as job loss, retirement, marriage, health concerns, and the loss of a loved one.

I understand that these experiences can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or isolating at times. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. I believe that each person brings their own strengths and resilience to the therapeutic process, even when it may not feel that way.

As a Certified EMDR therapist, I use an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to help clients process and integrate difficult past experiences that may continue to impact their present thoughts, emotions, and relationships. EMDR can be a powerful tool in reducing distress, shifting long-standing patterns, and fostering a greater sense of emotional balance and clarity.

My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I work closely with clients to understand their unique goals and tailor treatment to meet their individual needs. Together, we focus not only on healing from the past, but also on building coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change in the present and future.

I am attuned to the unique concerns of adults and older adults, including changes in identity, independence, health, and relationships. I strive to help clients navigate these transitions with greater confidence, self-understanding, and a renewed sense of purpose.
