As an LCSW, I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance abuse and adjusting to life transitions. I also have specialized training in coping with chronic illness and grief counseling.
My experiences at the Institute of Living, several outpatient clinics, and hospital work including intensive care unit and palliative care gave me a unique perspective around suffering. I hold an advanced certification in hospice and palliative social work following my post graduate specialization at Smith College.
Regardless of the challenges you are facing, together we can find and choose a new path of hope, healing and happiness.
