Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., L.C.S.W., NASW Diplomate
In private practice for 32 years. I am interested in assisting you with your emotional growth and well-being. It's normal at times in life to have conflicts, but sometimes we need guidance to discover healthier ways to navigate through these challenges to have a more healthy and rewarding life!
Living with chronic pain and illness can be both physically and emotionally debilitating. There are many things that can help - perspective, healthy relationships, meditation, relaxation, etc.
I worked in a hospital for several years in a Chronic Pain Management Program. The psychological aspects of managing ongoing pain are always difficult, but not impossible. As one patient replied when asked how he was feeling, he said, "My pain is the same, but I'm doing better."
I have worked in health care for a decade and have a background as the lead therapist at a hospital where I supported individuals with health concerns, specifically oncology and chronic illness.
