Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions or struggles that seem too difficult to share? With over 25 years of experience as a Master's trained Social Worker, I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, mood disorders, perinatal mental health, infertility, and self-esteem. I understand how hard it can be to face these challenges, and I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you navigate your journey. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and a deeper sense of peace and understanding in your life.

In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples counseling to strengthen relationships and foster emotional security. Everyone deserves to feel heard and validated, especially in close relationships. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs, helping individuals, couples, and families build inner strength, self-compassion, and deeper connections.

I’m dedicated to creating a safe, warm, and judgment-free space where you can explore your challenges and uncover pathways to healing. Reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation to begin your journey toward positive change. Together, we’ll take the first step toward a brighter, more empowered future.
