Exploring a difficult relationship, understanding your grief process, or managing your anxiety in social situations can be steps on the path towards mental health. My goal is to help you reduce self-judgment and increase insight into the changes you have the power to make. Together, we create a reprieve from life's demands and focus exclusively on your needs. When we understand our experiences more holistically with less shame and guilt, symptom relief and confidence often follow.

The courage to show up for yourself is the ultimate act of strength and self-love. My goal is to meet each client where you are in your journey and provide trust, empathy and compassion to further explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. I have supported those processing complex trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief/loss, life transitions and strained family relationships. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, codependency, chronic pain, self-harm and suicidal ideation. With a background in health and fitness, I bring awareness to one's physiological symptoms.

Remember that Friends episode when Ross invited Rachel and Joey over for a joint date night so he could pretend he was fine with them dating? He tried to convince them and himself that he is indeed "Fine". How often do you find yourself saying this or doing something similar? That you're "ok" or that you need to just keep "pushing through". I mean, really, we’ve all been there. Lack of motivation resulting in falling behind at work or other important responsibilities: “I’m fine”. Short fuse because you’re overwhelmed: “I’m fine.”

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship or family conflict and have been hesitant to try therapy or return to therapy, please feel free to reach out for help navigating these difficulties. We all have times in life when it would be beneficial to talk through and process challenging life events with a trained professional who is non-judgmental, empathic and firmly believes in an individual's internal wisdom towards healing when provided the right resources. Often life has a way of throwing us curveballs. It helps to have another person participate alongside us as we figure out how best to cope.

Establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships is often challenging. Perhaps your relationships lack intimacy, end abruptly, or you find yourself attracting the wrong kind of person. Psychotherapy is a process designed to examine these difficulties. As a therapist, I can assist you in exploring the personal beliefs and relational patterns which keep you from having satisfying relationships. Whether you are wanting to work on a significant relationship in couples or family therapy or address an individual concern, such as anxiety and/or depression, I will tailor the interventions specific to your circumstance. In addition to seeing adults, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents.

Each person is an individual and needs to have their treatment tailored to their individual needs. There is no such thing as "one-size-fits-all" therapy. Years of experience have made me an expert in both individual and relationship counseling. For me, the ideal client is motivated towards change and who will work just as hard between sessions as during them, who will explore the past and its effect on now and the future, and who will take what is learned in sessions and apply it to everyday life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual therapy to older adolescents and adults, assisting in the management of life changes and challenges. For young adults in high school and post high school, managing transitional periods that require making big decisions regarding education, living situations and relationships can feel overwhelming, anxiety producing and isolating. For many adults and seniors, the challenges may focus more on bereavement and loss, health management and unmet expectations regarding new realities.

We are all on this journey to find meaning in life while alleviating suffering. We want change, but don’t always know how to make it happen. Without realizing it, we may have developed an inner voice that is self-defeating, and habits that are holding us back or causing us to feel stuck in the same patterns. Therapy is an opportunity to grow, heal, and activate long-lasting change. By fostering a mindful and cognitive-behavioral approach, we can tune into our inner world to better understand who we are and how we function in our relationships. When we deepen our understanding of the self we can truly heal and show up authentically.
