Do you or your child have difficulty managing emotions, maintaining healthy meaningful relationships, or coping in a stressful and chaotic world? I am passionate about helping you learn to manage impulsive behaviors, depression and anxiety. When you learn where to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors you are likely to see an improvement in mood and self-esteem, greater joy in your relationships, and an easier ability to adapt to life’s stressors. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults, and I treat clients with major life transitions, such as job changes and relationship beginnings and endings.

It's hard. I know it is. Feeling so anxious that you cannot function at school, work or with friends. Feeling depressed that it's just numbing. Feeling like you are fighting with everyone and no one gets you! Maybe you feel like you are eating too much or too little. Is meeting a therapist a good idea or can you figure things out on your own? Scrolling through therapist profiles isn't helping either. I have something to share with you.

Congratulations on taking the first step to a better tomorrow. You're here to find someone that you connect with and trust, that takes time to listen and has the knowledge and experience to provide effective support. I have been working in the social work field for over 20 years. I offer a safe and professional environment that allows people to discuss their concerns free of pressure and judgement. Whether your needs developed out of a difficult relationship, family struggles, a hardship in life, emotional distress or other origin - help is available.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

How have you been feeling lately? We all have moments of feeling down, angry, hopeless, confused, anxious, and depressed. How are you coping with these feelings? What if I told you that there are ways that you can disrupt and replace these feelings/thoughts with healthier and safer behaviors? Do you need someone to talk to that will actively listen? Let us explore and identify the triggers that impact your daily life. Breathe! It is time for you to identify and explore ways to cope with your stress and life's undesirable circumstances. It is time for you to achieve your goals and to live a healthier lifestyle. If not now, then when?

Sometimes life hits us hard. If you are dealing with a big transition, depression, anxiety, inattention, irritability or struggling to find hope, I’m here to say you are not alone and you can feel better. I help families, couples, adolescents, and adults learn how to manage diverse mental health challenges. We can build a collaborative environment to approach your goals and build skills to healthily cope with your troubles. As a person who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, I look forward to giving back and helping others work through their struggles.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I want to help you achieve your goals in obtaining an improved quality of life by working together to identify coping strategies that best suit you. I enjoy teaching you skills including mindfulness training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and distress tolerance skills so that you can implement them to decrease the intensity, severity, and frequency of your psychiatric symptoms.

I believe that every person has a right to be happy. I work with my clients in an effort to tear down the many obstacles we face that get in the way of their ability to enjoy life to the fullest. We work together to uncover past and present life experiences that contribute to their sense of self, view of the world, and their place in it. I care about my clients and will go the extra mile to make sure they feel cared for and supported. I use my clinical knowledge and expertise, along with life experience and intuition to help you in any way you will allow me to. We're in this together. It's an honor to do this work.
