I am a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience in helping deal effectively with the many challenges and transitions of life. I help individuals, couples and families understanding and learning how to improve their relationships and understanding of themselves and others. I help people who are challenged with marriage stressors, parenting, separation, divorce, step-parenting, and blended families, Examples of life issues that many face are problems of career, job stressors, financial upheavals, health, aging, post traumatic stress and life direction.

I help people cope with and manage difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and phobias that may be interfering with their ability to manage and enjoy their lives. I have a special expertise in helping the bereaved and those facing loss of any kind. I am experienced with those dealing with challenges of addiction, alcoholism and codependency within themselves and/or friends or family members.

Military families often face special challenges, such as post traumatic stress and reentry into civilian life. I use various modalities of treatment for post-traumatic stress EMDR and traditional talk therapy.

My work is guided by the basic goal of helping people resolve their life challenges, learn effective coping strategies, and to reach their full potential in a supportive, respectful and empathic environment. All treatments are fully confidential. I accept several insurance plans, and do my best to help people make use of their health benefits with as much ease as possible.

I provide therapeutic services to:

• adults

• individuals

• couples

• families

• senior citizens
