   GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL THERAPY


Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.  I understand that finding and connecting with a therapist can be an overwhelming task, but is also the most important step to take. A phone call or initial meeting often provides the reassurance, information or even comfort you need to commit to the process. I encourage you to contact me with both questions or concerns.

My background and work experience greatly impact the environment and process in which I provide therapy.  For now, it is nice to meet you virtually. 


About Me

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.  After a ten-year career in education and administration, I transitioned into clinical social work and earned my Masters at San Diego State University. 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#111206) I have worked with children, families, individuals, and groups in a variety of settings. From chemical dependency, to trauma, to helping people manage anxiety and depression that comes from grief, loss, and life, I put my clients at the center of their healing.

Services

The decision to seek treatment is often vast and complex, just like our lives. You may be struggling with a transition in your life, a difficult emotion, or a feeling of dissatisfaction with your sense of self. 

I very much enjoy clinical care and getting to know my patients. My practice is based on building close partnerships and trusting relationships. My goal is for you to gain self-understanding, self-actualization, and satisfaction in life.

I have a small private practice which offers both group and individual therapy. This allows for me to focus my attention on developing and maintaining the therapeutic relationship. I believe that successful therapy is built on trust, understanding and commitment. I will bring my own experience to the process, while keeping focus on the needs of each client.
