In my therapeutic work, I partner with you to understand the needs of your family and that of your child. Together we explore the concerns which bring you into my office - whether trauma, adjustment, anxiety, school related concerns, or behavioral challenges.

Mindful Medication Management(tm) after 25 years of clinical experience my fundamental belief is this that true healing begins with mindfulness. My practice is a marriage of the science of western medicine and the art of eastern healing philosophies. Medications help control symptoms while mindfulness helps uncover root causes of disease. Mindful Medication Management means I provide needed prescriptions for anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment/dementia, and sleep disorders while using an integrative approach to help uncover possible causes such as nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or other stressors overlapping symptoms. Together we design strategies that may help gradually reduce dosages or the number of medications you take.

I am a licensed, clinical social worker with an abundance of experience in working with various challenges one may face across a lifespan but a particular interest in working with adolescents and women. When working with teens, whether for addictions, adjustment problems or to ease transitioning from high school or college, family dynamics are considered and provide a valuable platform for successful intervention. Cognitive/behavioral or psychodynamic approaches are used to provide a successful outcome.

I believe that everyone already has what it takes to feel better, make powerful personal changes and to heal - and it is my job to create a safe and nurturing environment so that each individual can uncover and grow their own skills. I feel privileged every day to be able to do this work and bear witness to the strength, resiliency and bravery of the people who sit across from me.
