I humbly bring 21 years of expertise ranging from child protective services work, to various case management experiences, to working in several clinical venues including residential treatment and outpatient practices. Graduating from NYU’s Silver School of Social Work in 2005, my area of passion has been serving children/adolescents and their families within the clinical arena, but have an all-encompassing love for anyone who comes into my care who is wanting to engage in positive change and willing to do the work toward that end. I am committed to your success and overall improvement in quality of life.

I believe in working with the total person: mind, body, and spirit. I assist clients in finding their own personal strength, wisdom, and enlightenment. I have experience working with neurotypical and neurodiverse individuals, couples, and families struggling with a myriad of issues, including substance use, relationships, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I work with the client’s strengths while helping each to examine themself, their environment, and the relationship between the two. The change is in you. I am here to help.

Welcome! I am a therapist with a wide range of experience who listens closely and pinpoints the issue(s) we should focus on. This way, as we work together, we can understand and unknot whatever gets in the way of your ability to get what you want out of life.

Life issues can really weigh us down. We all want to feel at peace and happy. Together, we can reach those goals. We will formulate a plan, through best therapy practices, that will work for you. I am here to walk with you through this time and to lend my expertise on how all these pieces fit together and how we can use your strengths to rise above whatever life is challenging you with at the moment. Improving coping skills, communication, boundaries and expectations can really help us on a day to day, as well as processing the past and how this links to present day and our behaviors and thoughts. I am here to support you!

I’m a nontraditional therapist who works with people who don’t connect with typical shrinks. Most of my sessions take place outdoors. A large portion of my approach involves Behavioral Activation which starts by getting moving again, and provides a “reset” in reconnecting with physical wellness- working toward mental toughness and resiliency. I utilize physical activity interventions, starting at whatever level you feel comfortable and building from there. Simply walking & talking has worked for millennia to help people overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. We may do office therapy, but doing it this way usually works better!

We all face unsettling experiences, difficult emotions, and use unhealthy coping skills or cycle in destructive patterns. I use empowerment approaches to help you find your path towards healing, integration, and leading a balanced lifestyle. I pull from various treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness practices, and effective interpersonal skills to create individual plans for better managing stress. I am also a trained EMDR therapist to help rewire traumatized brains. Whether adjusting to change, coping with mental illness, or dealing with traumatic events, you are not alone; it helps to talk.

Life can certainly be tough at times, but you don’t have to do it alone! I have worked with many patients from a variety of backgrounds and concerns. One of my more unique focuses is on Video Game/Internet Addiction. I offer advice/education with time management skills, setting priorities, overall life skills and more! I have interned and worked at Circles of Care and I currently practice at Adult & Child Counseling & Psychiatric Center. I am on your side and I will be here to help you through some of the most difficult and stressful times you have to handle. You have to keep moving forward and I can be the one to help!

You know you want to feel better, but you might feel lost or stuck or don't know where or how to begin. Together, we can explore the solutions that are best for your unique life - after all, you're the captain of your ship - I'm here to help you steer it.

You find yourself looking through these profiles waiting for someone to jump out and grab your attention. Maybe you’re not sure what you’re looking for exactly: someone to talk to, someone to confide in, someone to help with the emotional pain you’re in, someone to just sit and listen to be in the moment with you. The one thing you do know is that you want to feel different than what you feel right now. You want to know that there is hope to get through the tough times. You want to know that you can be the person you once were or a new version of yourself that you have in mind.

Finding it difficult to heal from painful memories, distressing emotions, anxiety, or losses? Trouble coping with current stressors? I have 20+ years of experience in which I have been privileged to witness the transformational power of therapy to bring healing and growth to my clients. I offer a variety of treatment approaches but also know that the quality of the relationship with your therapist is the most important factor for a positive outcome. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which to address your issues and respect for your right to set your goals for therapy.

When your family life starts to devolve, life can begin to feel out of control, leading to feelings of powerlessness and helplessness. Family means Love. Family means Connection. Family means Life. And when "family" isn't exhibiting these valuable experiences, it can often affect the way we feel about ourselves and others. Families come to me for help with issues such as divorce, infidelity, parenting stress and much more.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 42 years of experience in most areas of clinical social work. I welcome you to my practice and sincerely hope that we can work together as a team to find creative solutions to your mind boggling issues.

Therapy should be a positive experience. Having experience with a wide variety of people and their unique cultures, family structures, occupations, faith traditions and other critical aspects of diversity adds to my practice capability. I enjoy assisting individuals, couples and families with their decision to engage life and love, more effectively. My goal is to provide therapy in a positive, non-judgmental, yet effective way. When people feel stuck or no viable options to change their lives, I assist them by using a consultative approach.

You do not need to white knuckle your way through life anymore; sometimes the strongest thing you can do is allow yourself to receive help from others. I invite you to welcome the three C’s into your life through counseling: compassion, challenge, and change. I primarily work with individuals and couples who are ready to take their next steps in healing from the past and working towards a restored future.

Struggling with depression and anxiety? Is there turmoil within your household? You are not alone. Our therapists are here to help you continue reaching your goals you had prior to any significant stressors or traumatic events in your life. Sometimes reaching out to a professional to help you, your child, your marriage or entire family get back on track will empower you to gather the strength you need.

Thank you for taking time to look at my profile. After giving a lot of careful thought about whether or not counseling is for you, or if it's time yet, - sifting through so many profiles can seem overwhelming. So, once again, thank you for looking. For me, counseling is about empowerment, acceptance, and connection - to self, first. I provide guidance and support to people experiencing a high level of stress. Together we will work to manage difficult life circumstances, make improvement in areas you wish, and ease/eliminate negativity.
