As a licensed social worker, I primarily work with adults, young adults, and teens of various backgrounds who are overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and experiencing life changes. I am passionate about working with individuals to help them work through their emotions during challenging situations. I work with clients to provide skills best suited for them, while addressing the cause of their emotions and behaviors.

I enjoy encountering people who are becoming dismayed at the way at least part of their lives are turning out. The outside world can feel frightening or chaotic. We may face a turn in monetary fortunes, a disappointing relationship, a difficult family member. Young, middle-aged or older, life can disappoint us, We start to wonder how we got to the place we are in and how to make it better. We say we want something and find ourselves going in the opposite direction. Often we want to be open with others and stay guarded and hidden.

Hi! I have 40 years of experience treating individuals, couples and business professionals who are now experiencing an increase in anxiety and depression, loneliness despair due to Covid and now the political uncertainty of our times. Let my compassionate, interactive and solution focused approach be of help dealing with these and other personal, family and financial issues affecting your relationships and personal life. Through a Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach, we work to identify these issues and develop strategies for change.

At times, we may hear different voices within ourselves. Perhaps you find yourself striving for success in academics or your career, trying to meet societal expectations, but at the same time, questioning if you're truly "successful" or if your choices are right. Maybe you attempt to suppress or conceal your true emotions and thoughts to maintain a relationship, yet doubt whether you need such a relationship. Which one is the true self? What is it that you truly desire? How can you balance your own needs with those of others?
