I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 34 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging and meaningful moments. I specialize in trauma-informed care, grief, emotional stress, anticipatory loss, and navigating difficult transitions. I create a calm, compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered as you move toward healing.
