I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals and families experiencing difficult life circumstance. I spent many years working as a hospice social worker where, in addition to helping with grief and end of life issues, I helped my clients navigate anxiety and depression, changes in lifestyle, family and relationship issues, caregiver fatigue, and loss in all its forms.

I'm straight forward and realistic and while I utilize evidenced-based strategies such as Cognitive-Behavioral and Solutions Focused therapies, above all I am guided by the knowledge that we are all human and sometimes need a bit of help and compassion to be our best selves. I want to help my clients gain the insight and self awareness they need to make positive changes in their life.

My clients will be met by a calm, compassionate therapist who is ready to listen and empower them. Transparency and communication are important and my clients can expect that I will make sure we're on the same path and headed toward the same goals.
