Here to Help You Heal
You deserve a safe space free of judgment, where you can feel heard, explore your challenges, and recognize your strengths. I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 35 years of experience helping many people navigate the challenges in their lives and offering support. I work with people of all backgrounds, including children, youth, young adults, couples, families, and older adults.
Empathy, trust, and collaboration are the foundation of my practice, and they are what guide me in being supportive and compassionate with every patient I see.
My Approach to Care
I'm passionate about empowering people to recognize their strengths, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful change in their lives. That starts with care that is person-centered, built on your strengths, and responsive to your culture. You’ll find a supportive and collaborative environment here, one where your unique needs, experiences, and goals shape the work we do together.
Trauma-informed care is part of how I help you name your strengths and work toward goals that matter to you. My style is compassionate, encouraging, and focused on solutions, and I adjust it to fit the person in front of me.
Over the years, my specialties have grown to include behavioral health and mental health services, crisis intervention and stabilization, psychosocial assessment and treatment planning, and clinical supervision and staff development. I also support people with complex behavioral health needs. Behavioral health and advocacy are what I enjoy, as I want everyone to receive compassionate care.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a clinical social worker began with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges and recognize their own strengths. Experience in behavioral health further deepened my commitment to providing care centered on the person. I bring this strong understanding of the challenges individuals and families face, along with a commitment to creating a safe space without judgment where people feel heard and supported, to my practice now. Empathy, clinical experience, and genuine compassion ground each session.
Personal Interests
I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, exploring restaurants, and attending live music and cultural events. Volunteering and being involved in the community are also big parts of my life.
