About Me

I am an LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience as a therapist working with individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, ODD, BDD, women's issues, grief, family, and relationship issues. My approach combines cognitive behavioral solution-focused therapy. I will work with you to develop a treatment approach that matches your unique needs. I will help you to find solutions and make positive changes in your life. I will help motivate you to achieve and sustain desired behavioral changes. I can help you find solutions rather than dwelling on the problems. I am also married 26 years and a mom of two; a daughter, 21, and a son, 17 years old.
