About Me

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with more than 27 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional balance.

If your emotions often feel bigger than you'd like them to, I can help you better understand them and develop practical skills to respond rather than react. Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, Type 1 diabetes, chronic illness, or a major life transition, therapy can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.

I believe emotional regulation is the foundation for meaningful change. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, strengthen your coping skills, and create lasting growth.

My Background

My background in both mental health and medical social work continues to shape the way I approach therapy today. I spent many years as a hospital social worker in the neonatal intensive care unit, labor and delivery, and in organ transplant, walking alongside patients and families through some of the most vulnerable and life-changing moments of their lives.

My years in medical social work gave me firsthand experience supporting patients and families facing serious medical conditions. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the fear, uncertainty, and emotional burden that often accompany serious medical conditions. Today, it helps me better support clients experiencing health anxiety, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Through both my medical social work experience and my work with clients, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges of Type 1 diabetes. I enjoy supporting both individuals living with Type 1 diabetes and parents raising children with Type 1 diabetes as they navigate the emotional and practical demands of daily life.
