I am an LCSW with over 20 years of experience. I have worked as a school social worker and then as a forensic interviewer for most of my career, while also maintaining a small private practice throughout. I work mostly with teens and adults experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, life transitions (college, marriage, parenting, divorce, moving, etc). I practice a nonjudgmental, empathetic approach. I can be helpful with practical solutions and strategies. I aim for you to feel heard and hopeful after every session.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life.
