I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. I treat depression and anxiety, long standing problems, relation/couples, Gay/Lesbian, crisis intervention, coping w/chronic or terminal health concerns, mourning and grieving. I was a Director of Social Work in a psychiatric hospital. I left that position because I discovered my greatest interest was working with clients. I provide a relaxed environment where people can examine and solve problems, develop greater insight, and enhance coping skills in a non judgmental setting.

Do you worry and feel tense most days? Do you doubt and criticize yourself? Do these thoughts make you feel overwhelmed by life and hold you back from reaching your goals? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are not alone. Anxiety and depression are prevalent in everyday life especially during times of economic uncertainty and overwhelming stress. I can help you identify and resolve your fears and concerns through cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapeutic approaches.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in VA. I have been in practice since 1991. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is a structured, short-term therapy which requires building rapport early in treatment to facilitate trust and a working relationship with the client. Because establishing a collaborative connection is essential for successful therapy, I encourage clients who are not comfortable with me after a few sessions to try another therapist. CBT has been shown to have the largest body of research evidence for effective treatment of anxiety, depressive, and other disorders.

My approach to helping you produce outstanding changes in your life begins with YOU. Rather than having a cookie-cutter "program," this is a process aimed to be what you need when you need it.

Whether your goal is to release fears & stress or eliminate unwanted habits, my goal is to give you the most effective process in the most efficient use of your time.
