Bio

We can all benefit in difficult times from professional support in processing and resolving distressing symptoms and stressors. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and a relational approach I would like to assist you in building skills to help you more fully participate in life and reduce and manage symptoms. Together we can identify your strengths and responsibilities as they relate to mind, body, spirit, and community and plan how to better employ your strengths to restore hope and bolster belief in self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified domestic violence professional. I have over 30 years of mental health experience in urban and suburban settings. I have experience working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, and grief and loss. I am also experienced in assisting parents with increasing the tools in their toolbox to more effectively parent, improve family harmony and cope with the behavior of children with mental health concerns. Therapy is self-care.

I would like to partner with you in achieving your mental health recovery goals.
