About

I am a double licensed therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker; Marriage and Family Therapist) with Masters Degrees in both Counseling and Clinical Social Work. I have over thirty years’ experience and have taught and supervised other therapists in performing psychotherapy. I have specialized training in individual, couples, family and child psychotherapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, adoption and abuse issues. I have taught stress management, CBT and parenting classes.

I love my work and think my experience has helped my clients and me to quickly identify and effectively work on their primary issues and move forward in their lives. I bring a full range approach to help you learn skills to solve your problems. I am extremely flexible in my office hours and can see you days, evenings and some weekends.
