Description

I have been working in the area of mental health and wellness as a Social Worker (RSW) for over 20 years.   I am certified in CBT, and have completed additional training in the area of grief, and trauma.  I have extensive experience supporting adults with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges.

I work from an eclectic model comprised of a variety of evidence-based treatment models and therapeutic tools.  I will provide you with an environment that is safe and comfortable, so that together we can identify  your goals and needs to help you shift from a life of surviving to thriving
