I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years experience focusing on medical social work and mental health in hospitals, integrated care clinics and long term care facilities. My primary goal is to help others reach their goals, and the best way to do that is to align myself with you in a safe, nurturing, relaxed atmosphere. I primarily use the following evidence based practices; cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused based therapy, reminiscence therapy and grief counseling. I am experienced in working alongside a diverse clientele with various issues, such as, anxiety, depression, chronic and acute medical needs as well as aging and grief. Many of my clients have referenced my approachable, non-judgmental demeanor and ability to develop rapport quickly.
In my spare time, I love to cook, decorate, read mysteries and play with my dog, Sadie.
One of my favorite role models is responsible for my favorite quote as it refers to my outlook on being human, ” Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard and valued-when they can give and receive without judgment.”
