About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, adults and their families. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where clients feel comfortable, heard, and truly understood. I believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built through open communication, trust, and a non-judgmental approach. I use a variety of interactive, evidence-based techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and strengths. Together, we begin where you are — exploring emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to set realistic goals for greater happiness and success.
I work with children and teens navigating anxiety, peer relationships/ social skills (including bullying and friendship challenges), the impact of technology and social media, and basic life transitions. I have extensive experience supporting school-aged children with ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, providing practical tools and strategies for both children and their families.
In addition to working with young people, I also enjoy supporting adults through life’s many stages — from managing anxiety and depression to coping with change and strengthening parenting skills. I am passionate about helping parents build healthier family communication, reduce power struggles, and create more connected, supportive relationships at home.
My approach is empathetic, nurturing, and rooted in a deep respect for my clients’ resilience and potential. I am committed to partnering with you and your family to build confidence, strengthen relationships, and foster lasting well-being.
