Accepting new clients. Change can be difficult, but with professional support and guidance you can gain powerful tools to assist in working through and overcoming many challenges in your life. As a LCSW, I am here to help you cultivate those tools and develop a real, workable plan for improving the quality of your life. As an animal assisted therapist, my dog Riley (a Maltipoo) and I work together to create a comforting and warm environment.

If you're seeking growth, growth will be inevitable. I enjoy the thrill of witnessing my clients recognize their potential and take charge of their lives, perhaps for the very first time. When your life improves, I am deeply moved, and thankful. And, because I am a practical person, your therapy will have a beginning, a middle, and an end, so you can get on with the pleasure of creating a wonderful life. I promise to be an unwavering ally along the way.

I believe that difficulties and concerns can present opportunities for healing and growth. In my work with clients, I provide a space where one can feel understood, supported and empowered.

No one wants to live in a stressful, unhappy home. But this is the result when adults and children don't know how to communicate with each other in a safe, non-combative way. Parents whose children have ADHD, ADD or suffer from anxiety, depression, attachment and separation issues, cutting or obsessive-compulsive disorders say the coping and change strategies they develop through my counseling sessions are enabling them to become, in one mom's words, "more normal" families.

I specialize in assisting neurodivergent youths and adults as they navigate their unique experiences and learn to integrate into society. While I work with children, I believe in the power of working specifically with parents as individuals as they work on the many layers of their identity and their own unique challenges that often go overlooked. Those grappling with self-judgement and doubt, people pleasing tendencies, emotional regulation challenges, and interpersonal difficulties often find a safe space. I extend a warm welcome to them while equipping them with techniques and coping skills to promote self-efficacy and confidence.
