Welcome to my home on the Web.  I’m glad you’ve taken a moment to visit.

It takes tremendous courage to enter treatment and may be one of the most important decisions you can make.  Choosing a therapist can be an overwhelming task.  If you are reading my web page, you might be at a point in your life where you want more peace and contentment.

I work to create a safe, supportive and respectful environment where you can identify and explore your individual issues.  I believe therapy is a partnership where we work together to establish and reach your goals.  I work in a holistic way to help connect mind and body to achieve emotional well-being.

I have over 20 years of experience and training and enjoy working with a variety of people and issues. Over the years, I have developed a variety of specialties, which include depression, addiction, anxiety and trauma (see Services & Specialities).

I received my Masters in Social Work in 1987 and have been in Private Practice since 1991.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Specialist.  Throughout the years, I have completed training in Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy, Addiction Treatment, Hakomi (a Mind/Body Psychotherapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I have also attended numerous workshops, ranging from grief treatment and stress reduction to couples therapy.

All of these trainings have given me the knowledge and tools to be able to provide the best treatment for each individual that enters my office.

I treat both adults and adolescents.  I help couples, both married and unmarried along with single individuals struggling to have healthy relationships.  I also enjoy working with gay and lesbian clients.  If a concern is about your child or a family issue, I have a highly experienced associate who works with children, adolescents and families. 

I do work with Insurance Companies and clients to make therapy affordable. 

I look forward to hearing from you and working together to create the life you want.
