I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice since 2003. My specialties include working with adults and couples challenged by life changes, family or marital conflict, infertility, grief, anxiety and work difficulty.
I believe in creating a safe space to talk through complicated situations. I think bouncing things off someone neutral to a situation can allow us to work through many things. Perspective matters. How we see things impacts our response. I want to support you while challenging your perspective to ensure you are making healthy decisions you feel confident and proud about.
Therapy is part of who I am but it isn’t all. I know my experiences outside a therapy practice guide me to being a well rounded confidant.
