Life can be many things and most descriptors would be inappropriate to type out here, but above all it can be really damn hard. Some of us have gone through experiences that we didn't ask for, but some how we've managed this far. If this is you and you're considering it's time to seek some help in this struggle we all call life, you're not alone. You're not weak. Starting this journey of therapy isn't an easy thing to do, and I think that makes you brave. Wanting to step into a better life for yourself takes courage. It's my honor and greatest privilege to assist in this walk back to a life worth living. Let's take that step!

Now accepting BCBS Insurance. You’re on call 24/7, always needed, always giving. While caregiving is your passion and your calling- you're just exhausted. You want and need to be there for the important people in your life. You've dedicated yourself to helping clients, customers, family, friends, or patients in need. But somehow it's simultaneously fulfilling and draining. You need a vacation. But who needs those anyway? You'll be okay... right? Giving is a noble value. It is so important to leave this world better than you found it. But you can't pour from an empty cup.

Talking about sexuality can feel challenging for many of us. I take a sex-positive approach to intimacy, encouraging open and healthy discussions about sexual experiences and desires. I utilize an integrative, holistic, and mindulness based approach, as it is important to have a clear understanding about what is currently important to the client in the present while gently exploring the past. I also assess for tangential topics, such as boundary maintenance, practicing a compassionate relationship with one’s self and partner, healthy and effective communication, and developing mindful practices to inform decisions.

I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That said, sometimes situations occur in our lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which we may reach that potential. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I regularly serve therapists, bariatric clients, individuals with perinatal struggles, couples/ethically non-monogamous, and individuals struggling with anxiety/OCD and/or depression, among others.

Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Addictions, Trauma. Counseling/Therapy is investment in quality of life. People seek help when frustrated, confused, overwhelmed. Does addiction (substance/behavior) control your life? Does a challenging relationship frustrate you? Are you tired of trying to change your partner? or trying to change yourself for your partner? Have you experienced painful loss? Do you frequently feel tense and uneasy? Does the life you live differ from the life you want?

To me, counseling is not just a way to address a certain feeling or behavior but rather a way to get to know ourselves better so that we may feel more comfortable and confident in the world around us. As a counselor, I believe the most important part of therapy is trusting in the therapeutic relationship so that you are able to uncover ideas about your personality, experiences, and values and how they can help you overcome your concerns and achieve your goals.

Congratulations, you have taken your first step towards your healing process. It's ok to ask for help. Do you find it difficult to deal with your emotions, anger, and anxiety? If so, you could be dealing with depression, past traumas, anger management, feeling stuck, conflicts with your spouse/partner/significant other or friends, and difficulties controlling your emotions and/or behaviors. I use various therapeutic approaches that aid my clients with exploring both cognitive distortions, and the conscious and unconscious levels of thinking which will demonstrate healthy behaviors leading to positive outcomes.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to collaborate with clients in an empathetic and non-judgmental space. My approch is to use a combination of clinical training and real world experience to help clients better connect with themselves and with others. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, self esteem, grief, relationship issues, perinatal issues, life transitions, and most extensively with people who have experienced trauma in their lives including childhood trauma, sexual assault, abusive relationships, and marginalized identities. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to access change.

Life can be hard! If you are struggling with challenges such as: marriage or relationship issues, infidelity, anxiety, depression, divorce, job loss, or low self-esteem maybe it is time to do something different. If your current efforts to deal with relationships, emotions, and life's challenges just aren't working, it is probably time to get some help. Maybe you're unsure if counseling really works. Counseling is no "magic pill" that instantly fixes your problems! However, it does help many people change, heal, and improve their quality of life.
