Get the care you deserve.
Your mental health is important
Life is often challenging and unpredictable, but I believe within each of us lies the strength and resilience to grow, change, and live a healthier, happier life. Making the decision to go to therapy is the first step in this journey. Therapy is a process, which requires self-reflection and honesty — both with yourself and me. It is important for me to create a space where you feel safe and listened to. My goal is to help you reach your goals in a supportive, empathetic, and compassionate space.
An integrative approach
My therapeutic framework is integrative, which means that I utilize a variety of approaches depending on the issue we are addressing. I utilize cognitive behavior techniques, humanistic (client-centered), family-of-origin work, somatic techniques as well as others as the need arises. Our conversation and treatment plan will be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs.

As a licensed clinical social worker and registered play therapist with 25+ years of experience, my career has encompassed many different developmental stages and diverse clients. My private practice had clients from age three to adult. I have worked with both individuals as well as parents and children. The concerns have been wide-ranging—depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, school issues, and trauma—to name some. I have considerable experience working with traumatized clients.
Clinical specialties
My clinical interests are trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, mood disorders as well as relationship concerns and parenting.
