Are you or a loved one navigating the complexities of chronic illness, facing the challenges of grief, or experiencing the emotional toll of a serious medical condition? Do you find yourself struggling with the unique demands of perinatal or postpartum care, or supporting a child with special needs?
These experiences can be incredibly overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them without support or guidance.
As a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals and families through the toughest moments of life, including chronic disease management, oncology, terminal illness, and the grief that often accompanies these challenges. I also have a deep commitment to helping mothers during the perinatal period and supporting families of children with autism and other special needs. I have expanded my knowledge with training in eating disorders in adults, children and individuals with special needs, as well as lactation consulting and disordered eating in pregnancy and breastfeeding. My approach is grounded in empathy and evidence-based practices, including narrative therapy, problem-solving, and solution-focused techniques, all aimed at empowering you to navigate your journey with resilience and hope.
