Are you feeling anxious, depressed, sad, frustrated? As a licensed clinical social worker in private practice for the past eighteen years, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I also have experience in medical social work and aging issues. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and supportive environment where you can safely explore new possibilities for sustainable growth and transformation. "Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference." - Virginia Satir
My goal is to help you gain insight, identify your strengths, improve your coping skills, and most importantly, to feel better. I believe therapy can empower people to grow and heal unresolved issues in their lives. "Regardless of how we may try to skip over or sidestep what we need to face, we humbly discover that no other threshold is possible until
we use our courage to open the door before us. Perhaps the oldest working truth of self-discovery is that the only way out is through." - Mark Nepo - It takes courage to reach out for help. I welcome your call.
