Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a psychotherapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who offers a compassionate and integrated approach to psychotherapy. My approach is nonjudgmental and supportive. I work with individuals who are in distress to help relieve suffering and address the issues that are causing pain. I work collaboratively with clients to improve self-awareness, develop insight, and learn new ways of coping with life stressors to facilitate healing and growth. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of treatment settings.
