As an Addiction Social Worker, I specialize in empowering individuals to recover from addictive behaviors via support and counseling. With an extensive working knowledge of diverse recovery approaches, including family recovery, I feel privileged to help individuals with addiction and their families create change and enjoy productive, meaningful lives. As research shows, addicted individuals often struggle with additional challenges, such as trauma, grief, and mental health disorders and I recognize that quality treatment must be comprehensive to include treatment of these issues.

Do you feel stuck? Perhaps you used to feel confident and capable, and now you feel like you can't get any traction. I work with people who are used to having all of the answers, and now find themselves at a loss - smart tweens who are struggling with their emotions, smart teenagers who are struggling with their families, smart adults who feel stuck or are making bad choices. People who are creative and hard-working often find me to be a good fit for their goals, including executives, those who are in non-traditional jobs or jobs with unconventional structures, those who are in non-traditional relationships, and are LGBTQI+.

For more than 40 years I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services.

I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

Was your journey towards parenthood one that brought overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, and anxiety? Was getting pregnant difficult for you? Are you the 1 in 2 that has experienced pregnancy loss? If you’ve experienced anxiety, depression or trauma in the perinatal period, you’re not alone. The pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period can be one of the most consuming as well as loneliest times in a new parents life. No one deserves for this beautiful period of their lives to be filled with distressing thoughts, dread, or fear.

I have been in practice thirty years. I see psychotherapy as a process of increasing self awareness, developing a more realistic and tolerant self esteem, and identifying and working through losses, disappointments and relational conflicts. This process enables reduction in pain, greater self acceptance, and comfort in relationships and family. This process occurs in a collaborative effort between you the client, and myself. The safe environment of the office allows for the full expression and understanding of what you experience, think, and feel. Our work together enables symptom relief, greater personal understanding, growth, responsibility and contentment.

A safe space to be truly heard, seen and understood. Whether you are grieving a loss, feel overwhelmed, lost, or isolated, therapy is a place to talk, reflect, cry, and sometimes even laugh. It is a form of caring for yourself. A way to gain support. To pause. To reset. To take a breath.

I utilize evidence-based treatment interventions such as, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, narrative therapy, family systems and Trauma Competency training.

I am a licensed therapist who sees individuals with mental health and/or substance use issues. When I began studying social work its philosophy resonated deeply with me as strengths-based with dignity for all. Social justice issues have recently been occupying a more prominent (long overdue) role in many conversations; I support the dismantling of systems of oppression in its many forms, and am supportive to clients if they choose to engage with these topics, whether or not they wish to bring them to the therapy space.

I help individuals and couples to overcome their challenges and find more fulfillment and success in everyday life, guiding them to attain the personal growth they're striving for. I understand the struggles that accompany a busy or demanding lifestyle, and the fears and anxiety that can arise when life suddenly changes course. I can help guide you through the chaos that can often distract us from our ultimate goals.
