I am very focused on strategies and resources to help individuals deal with the current challenges around the pandemic, climate change, world events, etc. These are very challenging times for all of us.

I prioritize client-centered, compassion focused and strength-based practice in my role as a social worker. To me, this means that I operate under the belief and understanding that all of my clients intrinsically possess the strength to cope with whatever barriers they are facing and I am simply a guide along the way. I am trained in EMDR, narrative, compassion focused therapy and other modalities, please check my website for more info.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in private practice since 1983.
