I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in practice for over 20 years. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as specialize in ACT, DBT-PE and CBT. I enjoy working with older adolescents, adults and seniors and work with a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, PTSD, maladaptive behaviors and dysregulated emotions.
I have supervised and trained other clinicians utilizing DBT.  I also am trained in the Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work and Bringing Home Baby and have trained through Level 2 of the Gottman Method.  I am an LGBTQIA ally.
Currently, I am only providing Teletherapy.  My approach is warm, collaborative, down-to-earth.
