Of all my skills, education and competencies that I bring to my professional work, perhaps the most important, is my foundation in all that is human - and hope.
About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience working with children, adults and families. I believe that all healing and growth happens in the context of relationships and enjoy the privilege of accompanying those with whom I work through their therapeutic journeys.
My commitments to you as your therapist:
Dignity: I will see you as a whole person--not as a diagnosis, symptom or problem. I understand that to struggle is human, that we all experience difficulties, and that the most important things I can do are to listen, empathize, accept and support you.
Trust: You are in good hands. I routinely engage in advanced training, have a wide range of life experience, and believe deeply in the human ability to heal and grow.
Care: I care about your well-being. It's important to me and to your therapy that you feel deeply understood. Your confidentiality is essential and you can count on my professionalism from start to finish.
Ethics: I follow the NASW code of ethics, reflected in my values: dignity and worth of the person, integrity, competence and relationship. As a psychoanalyst, I have done my own intensive therapy and know first hand what it is to be on the other side of the room. This also means that I have confidence in my capacity to be present with you and for you - without the imposition of my own personal needs.
Effectiveness: I will help you to better understand the roots of your experience in the spirit of long lasting here and now change.
