About My Clients

* Do you feel as though you are always looking over your shoulder? * Do you find yourself avoiding people/places/things that make you feel unsafe? * Do you feel as though your mind will not slow down and just let you relax? * Do you feel unlovable and/or inadequate? * Have you been overusing a coping strategy, such as drugs/alcohol, sex, or gambling, that now you wonder if you have another problem? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I may be able to help you.

My Background and Approach

I am a seasoned, clinical social worker with ten years of experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I treated veterans with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Prior to my work at the VA, I worked in nursing homes and community mental health centers where I provided psychotherapy and crisis intervention to individuals of all different ages and backgrounds. I received my MSSA from Case Western Reserve University in 2007.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a strong advocate for social justice. I consider myself an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, racial minority groups, and religious minority groups.
