Seeking out help can be a tough and vulnerable process and I want to commend you on taking that initiative. I utilize a collaborative, warm and supportive approach during therapy sessions. Whether you are looking to overcome long standing issues or address more recent concerns, I am here for you as you navigate your healing journey. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so we can get to know one another and ensure we are a good match for therapy.
I am EMDR certified and specialize in working with older adults, adults struggling with chronic illness and disability. Therapy sessions are typically focused on anxiety, trauma, depression, grief/loss, aging and life transitions. I am also a board approved social work supervisor and am available to supervise LMSWs wanting to work towards LCSW licensure.
If you have been in counseling a long time or have never seen a therapist before, I am here to support you and work with you through whatever challenges you may be facing. Sometimes, all it takes is the support of one person to help make daily life a little bit better.
