I have had the privilege of assisting individuals across various age groups, including couples, teens, adults, and seniors, in navigating challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, career-related issues, women's issues, relationship struggles, depression, and much more. I understand the complexities of balancing multiple roles in life, such as parenting, relationships, and work-life. I want to emphasize that therapy is a safe space, free from judgment, where growth can manifest even in the face of challenges.

If daily life often just feels overwhelming, let's talk. My office is a safe and comfortable place where I can help you develop a real understanding of what holds you back. If you feel like you need to strengthen your connection to yourself and others, I can help. Do you and your partner run into the same communication barriers over and over leaving you feeling hopeless? I utilize a method called Internal Family Systems to help you identify parts of you that may be getting in the way. By getting to know those parts of you, we can start you moving forward with confidence again.

One can have the desire to change, but it’s the Courage to take the first step that produces change. You are making a Courageous decision today and I applaud you for that! Therapy is a collaborative effort where we continually take steps to identify and create the change one seeks. My goal as a clinical social worker is three-fold: 1. To help you attain clarity in the matters that negatively impact your life, and 2. To support you as we identify options for dealing with those matters and create the change.

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and, most importantly, heard. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by life’s demands and feel like no one is on your side. Depression, anxiety, and stress can make us feel as if there is nowhere else to go. Or we develop coping methods that are not aligned with our life goals. If pouring from an empty cup is no longer an option for you, then I commend you for taking the first step towards your new journey.

Our mind is a battlefield. Individuals often fight thoughts and feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, and regret throughout their lifetime and often engage in maladaptive behaviors to medicate the pain they are dealing with. Many times mental health problems stem from spiritual issues and deep rooted, distorted core beliefs. When life gets rough, these core beliefs often rise to the surface and cause us to go in a downward spiral of depression and negative harmful behaviors. Therapy is a powerful ally to help conquer the negative and often debilitating thoughts that try to take over every aspect of our lives.

Of course, sometimes life can be difficult. And sometimes life has been difficult all along, for some of us. Psychotherapy has the potential to not only address the difficulties that we experience, but also has the potential to help us find a way to integrate healing so that we may experience joy and vitality again - or maybe even for the first time. I am happy to work with individuals, families and couples who are interested in exploring and understanding how they may be able to heal wounds, create stability and forge new and meaningful paths and/or relationships in their lives.
