I am a licensed,clinical social worker with over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. My primary objective is to comprehensively assess whatever concerns are being presented by my patients and to quickly and compassionately alleviate any emotional discomfort. I provide therapy based on the belief that if an individual is making a commitment to themselves to get support, they deserve the full focus and availability of their therapist. My patients tell me that they appreciate my accessibility and my way of making them feel like they are my only patient and priority.

I am a licensed Social Worker who graduated from Barry University and I have been working in Mental Health since 2001. I have been working with individuals, families and couples from very diverse population. I also worked very closely with parents with children between the ages of 0-5 working through parental stress, time management as well as postpartum depression. I have expertise working with adults and teenagers. I have taken many critical classes for this population. I have experience working with the substance abuse and dependency clients. My practice has therapist that can work with children and adults. We have 4 therapists.

If you wrote the story of your life, what would be its story line? How would you describe its main character? Do you feel like you are writing the story or are you improvising without a script? Sometimes, it helps to bring someone into the creative process.

I am committed to clients well-being and to helping them find the life they love living. My clients know that I care, that I am there for them, that I know who they are and where they want to be.They count on me to have the "insight," training and experience to get them there. It is an honor to be a part of my clients' lives and to see them become confident and happy with the person they are and to feel "joy." My favorite client comments are "I can do this" and "I love my life!"

I am most passionate to help entire families impacted by addiction; addicts and "adult children" in recovery seeking to rebuild their lives; persons seeking help in codependent relationships; premarital and marital couples seeking to enrich or restore their marriages; and overall persons who feel "stuck" in life and need assistance finding direction, excitement, and purpose. I have worked in the secular environment for my entire career. However, I am able to provide a biblical perspective for clients who desire such an orientation.

If you suffer from Anger, Anxiety, Depression or Other Negative Emotions, it's time to Take Control. My first session is free. In that session, you can begin the process of: *Taking Charge of your life and emotions/ Resolving hurtful issues / Returning to happiness / and Improving your relationships. By the end of that first session, you will already be moving in a positive direction. We will then establish a course for positive changes.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked both privately, and in the nation's top healthcare companies. It is my goal to work collaboratively with each client to achieve his or her individual goals for treatment. I believe that true, lasting change arises from a solid working relationship between client and therapist. I make sure to spend time setting a solid foundation for treatment that will allow for effective therapeutic change. While mindful, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is my primary modality, I believe each client deserves the benefit of a holistic, integrative approach.

A positive outcome in therapy depends on the quality of the relationship formed between client and therapist. Client-therapist fit is the single most important predictor of therapeutic success. To complicate matters, therapists are trained and practice various models of psychotherapy according to the paradigm they were schooled.I am trained in the psychoanalytic tradition, a school of psychology steeped in history that has stood the test of time. The psychoanalytic interpretation of the client's life history allows the client to gain valuable insight into previously unconscious conflicts with immediate relief.

I believe "Where There Is Love There IS A Way!" If YOU want to attract, create and keep a loving relationship, you must first understand, accept, forgive and love yourself. Then you are ready to understand, accept, forgive and love another person. Emotional, communication and sexual problems quickly resolve as loving feelings intensify. I help you bring back desire, sensuality, passion, joy and love in your relationships.

Are you feeling anxious, fearful, unsupported, lonely or confused? Is life currently a struggle? Why struggle alone when there is help available? Allow me to help you find your own inner resources to journey through whatever is causing these symptoms. Yes, life is challenging but I do believe we each have the capacity to heal and thrive. We just need the tools. Perhaps, you may have tools but have forgotten how to use them, or you were never taught how; this is the time to allow me to help you birth the new you.

Greetings! Thank you for reviewing my listing. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, I have worked with a variety of populations ranging from those with addictions to those diagnosed with mental illness. My practice includes the dually diagnosed, those with chemical dependency issues as well as process addictions (sex addiction, compulsive shopping, pathological gambling). I also work with eating disorders and those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I specialize in working with those suffering from trauma. I promote an environment of trust, respect and acceptance. I also specialize in Inner Child.

I take a person-centered approach to counseling, while utilizing tools from many other types of therapies. I feel it is important to get to the root of an issue by figuring out where it began, process through it to find healing and acceptance, and then use tools and techniques to make specific changes in thoughts and behaviors. I believe setting goals helps to track progress and can be a great motivator. I see counseling as a holistic process and integrate spiritual, physical, & mental aspects into the process, as you feel comfortable.

All of us, over the course of our lives, have found ourselves faced with challenging life events - some small and others so much bigger than ourselves that we become overwhelmed and unable to face them alone. We may experience feelings of grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, marital strife, illness, or addiction to mention a few. However, what is most important is that we not face these alone, and remember there is help and relief. Each one of us has a sense of resiliency to meet our life challenges - even in our worst times. Finding that resiliency is the beginning to healing and living our best lives.

My favorite quote says “an arrow cannot be shot forward until it is pulled back”. It teaches us that perspective is so powerful, it may cause you to focus on the setback rather than what you’re being set up for. No matter how big or small your problem is, there is a way to get through it. Through my journey as a therapist I have worked in many settings with clients of all ages and all sorts of problems. The common complaint that all of my clients have had is simple- they want to feel better. I work to understand their story, hear them without judgement and walk alongside their journey to regain hope and achieve their goals.

My goal is to provide a relaxing and a healing environment where you can address your concerns with life's challenges and difficulties. I will help you build insight, explore and challenge thoughts as a way to improve overall mental health and core healing. I can provide services that span from individual therapy to marriage and family counseling in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere.

Lets create a safe space together to work on the issues that are causing you to feel stuck, to be in pain or feel overwhelmed with managing the stress in your life. I am interactive and meet people where they are. I want to hear what your experiences are and to hear what your goals are in our work together .

My mission is to treat every client with the up most respect and dignity believing that everyone deserves to be treated as a valued individual. I have extensive experience treating individual, families, couples, adolescents and children with a wide range of issues and concerns using a variety of therapeutic modalities. I will help you build insight, explore and challenge thought as a way to improve overall mental health, well-being, relations, and more.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their issues, needs, and goals.

I am passionate about guiding people along the path towards creating a life filled with purpose, hope, connection and joy. I help people navigate the obstacles that keep them from moving in the direction of what they value most. My approach to counseling is collaborative and creative. I know the importance of understanding the unique story of each person, family and couple. I encourage people to become the author of their own life stories so they can discover new meaning, clarity and appreciation as they move forward to write new chapters.
