I am a licensed social worker with seven years of clinical experience who has worked with Individuals and minors between the ages of 13 and 17. My specialties include Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Self Esteem, and Women's Issues. My approach is a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based, and Positive Psychology that will help define your concerns and create realistic goals. I believe that the relationship between counselor and client is significant, and I feel that real change begins in an environment where you feel comfortable and validated.

Do you feel drained, exhausted, unseen, and unappreciated? Have you ever considered why the relationships in your life seem so uneven? Maybe you're like me and life has thrown you challenges you weren't prepared for leaving you feeling stuck, unsure, and repeating behaviors you don't like. You want to feel loved and valued; perhaps it's been a long time since anyone told you this or you have felt worthy. If I asked you what you love doing, you might say you don't know, you have forgotten or there isn't any space for your needs. Let me be the first to tell you you are loveable and important, and there is hope.

Accepting new clients! I am an interactive therapist. My years in acute care have given me a passion for treating trauma and particularly reproductive/perinatal mental health. Pregnancy and birth should be a time of joy, but sometimes instead it overturns dreams, disrupts relationships, and brings waves of grief, loss, confusion, and heartbreak. Whether your challenges are new or years in the making you don't want to feel like this any more - nor should you! I am a little irreverent, a lot empathetic, and ready to help you find your best self again.

Through the process of therapy, you can develop new ways of dealing with conflicts, communication difficulties, grief and loss, and many other daily concerns. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, you can make positive changes for a stronger today and future. I believe that addressing the relationship between couples may require a “sacred space”. This safe space can allow the therapist to work with couples in breaking down walls that may have kept them trapped in overwhelming situations, and aid them in developing deeper connections
