I am an independiently licensed clinical social worker. I have worked in community-based, residential, and private practice settings with clients from diverse populations, across the lifespan, seeking care for mental health and substance abuse diagnoses for 38 years. The focus of my therapeutic approach is to enhance the mental, emotional, and social well-being of clients through evidence-based and culturally informed services.
I am experienced in the treatment of co-occuring mental health and substance abuse disorders. I have worked successfully with those impacted by adjustment disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship/family issues and athlete health and wellness.
Looking for support on your mental health journey? I'm currently accepting new clients and would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and balance. Whether you're facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, or simply need a safe space to talk, feel free to reach out to me to learn more about the services I provide.
