I help people communicate effectively and build better connections with the ones they love. I see individuals and couples. For those who are experiencing fighting, betrayal or 'falling out of love,' I help you rebuild the the relationship you've been craving. I coach you in opening lines of communication, gaining insight into yourselves and achieving the relationship goals you set. Some couples who see me are looking for a safe place to talk because they are considering separation/divorce; I help them share their worries, process the range of feeling and prioritize their children's well-being during this difficult family time.

With children and teenagers, I work with both the child and one or more family members to enhance mental health and life outcomes through improvements to family life and to the school experience.
I offer a holistic approach to outpatient counseling to both children and adults with an emphasis on problem-solving and searching together for solutions that support life success and positive personal development. I work together with you to help you to overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma toward a happy and fulfilling life, using cognitive behavioral therapy, existential and humanistic counseling, and practical, social work-based approaches.

Working together we can address areas including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, communication struggles, social interaction difficulties, and family conflict.
Facing personal or family struggles is often difficult; making the decision to seek help can be even more so. I view the therapeutic process as a joint endeavor between the therapist and the individual or family involved. While the techniques and strategies employed in session are important, an individual's motivation and willingness to work are critical. When appropriate, this process can include an individual's family or specific family members. I often seek caregiver participation when working with children and adolescents. Parents and loved ones can be a powerful tool in eliciting growth and development.

I am an LCSW-C therapist who works with adults and couples. Life has a way of presenting people with challenges that may cause you to want to seek counseling to help you navigate your way through life's ups and downs. Sometimes these challenges make us feel stuck and uncertain, whether it be relationship issues, divorce, intimacy, death of a loved one, loss of a job, grief, suicide survivor, identity crisis, family conflict, addiction, processing trauma, sexual orientation, communicating or relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc., or simply feeling like you are at a crossroads and not sure what to do next.

Showing up as the person you presently are, the person you want to be, the person your family expects and the person society tells you to be can create such an emotional struggle.
Starting the process of addressing your mental health is often overwhelming. The biggest questions that come up are: What is the best treatment for me? Will my therapist understand my needs? If I open these emotional wounds, will they be able to end this pain? I work to create a safe space to bring your pain and trauma. Therapy should be a place of healing and understanding. Our goal in therapy will be to create strategies that will decrease those negative thoughts, voices and patterns. As well as open you up to a new sense of inner peace. If you are ready, take the next step and schedule a free consultation call.
