Everyone goes through challenges and there is nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. My goal is to help you attain a better understanding of yourself, to help you develop new skills, improve your coping, and to find resolution for the issues you are facing. My approach is collaborative and I work hard to create a safe space where people feel valued, heard and empowered. I offer a free 15-minute consultation appointment.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in both brief intervention and longer-term supportive counseling. I specialize in individual therapy with a focus on depression, anxiety, grief and loss, adjustment issues including medical issues, relationship concerns, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy.
As a solution-focused therapist, I provide support and practical feedback to help my clients effectively address their personal life challenges. I work to integrate complimentary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client.
