I spent many years as a school social worker in private therapeutic day schools providing individual, group and family therapy. I continued providing therapy in private settings for 20+ years, focusing on adolescents, young adults, and parenting issues.

As a therapist and certified health coach, I have worked with families who have faced a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes, Celiac Disease, and other non-normative health issues that can be challenging systemically, socially, and emotionally.

I have always had a special interest in working with adolescents and families, but in recent years have shifted my focus to include parenting issues and adults. I use a variety of approaches to meet my client’s needs, highlighting the importance of forming and accepting goals and exploring the personal and environmental issues that may interrupt that process. With a holistic approach, I help clients gain insight, learn advocacy, and look at important relationships. Creating a safe space and a trusting relationship, my clients can actively engage in this process with the comfort needed to make change.
