Waitlist for new clients
I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I also work with adults. While post-graduate training, and teaching, have increased my skills, what makes me a good therapist are the beliefs I hold dear. I believe in people and their ability to heal and thrive. I believe that the connection I have with my clients not only allows them to open up to me, but others as well. Most importantly, I believe that working with others is a tremendous responsibility and a sacred trust. It is an honor I never take lightly.

It can be difficult to be human at times. Life can be full of so many losses and challenges, and with busy and demanding schedules, it may not feel like there's any time to process what you’ve gone through. Maybe you’ve found yourself masking and suppressing your real feelings, and as a result, you don’t feel as connected and fulfilled with yourself and your world. In our work together, you're free to explore your emotions and seek deeper insight into who you are. I prefer to think of my role as that of a lantern, bringing to light aspects that you may not have realized and that may be limiting you from leading the life you desire.

I believe we all have an inner drive toward health and wholeness, but sometimes we get stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, depressed or confused in life. I help clients understand where their pain is coming from and offer coping skills and relationship methods for moving forward to a happier life. Through gentle yet honest talk therapy, I use a varied style which includes humor, CBT, experiential, and gestalt . I follow the pace of the client, and many feel significantly better within 8 -12 weeks.
