Introduction

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) committed to helping you build practical strategies that move you toward your goals. I work with children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and elders who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger management, family conflict, and life transitions. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, family systems work, and strength-based perspectives, tailored to what resonates with you. I believe lasting change comes from understanding yourself more deeply and developing tools that fit your life. Whether you're managing caregiver stress, navigating behavioral challenges, building coping skills, or working through relationship dynamics, I'm here to support you. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions and accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicare. I'm currently accepting new clients and would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
