I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background working with children, adolescents, families and adults providing individual, group and family therapy. My more than 20 years’ experience was gained from varied settings such as community mental health clinics, crisis centers, oncology, employee assistance programs (EAP), hospital settings and managed behavioral healthcare settings. My clinical experience includes helping clients dealing with/managing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, or who may be navigating an acute or chronic illness. I strive to help clients move confidently through times of transition, relationship conflicts, and life challenges.

In addition, I am a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), who has provided coaching and trainings, as well as managed employee relations issues in corporate settings. As a result of my business experience, I bring a unique perspective when I work with clients who face challenges in the workplace.

I value you and your unique story. I will work collaboratively with you, empowering you to be the narrator of your own journey. I believe a true partnership and authentic connection are essential to the therapeutic process. My approach is holistic and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a dash of humor as we explore your internal world together. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), I will help you understand the different parts of yourself—those that protect, those that carry pain, and those that long for healing—so you can move toward greater emotional balance and self-leadership.

In our work together, I’ll support you in gaining insight into your experiences, feeling more equipped to manage life’s challenges, and making meaningful personal discoveries. Whether you're navigating a difficult situation or simply ready to grow in a new direction, I look forward to walking alongside you on your path to achieving your goals.
