I enjoy working with children, adolescents and families. Most of my experience has been with younger clients facing anxiety, behavioral issues, depression and anger management. I believe it is important for me to have a collaborative professional relationship with each client so that we can collectively meet the client's needs. I prioritize creating a secure environment using principles from Art Therapy, allowing expression beyond words.

You love each other, and you want to work through the problems, but so far, nothing you've tried has helped long-term - including couples therapy. You feel like roommates; you argue about the same thing repeatedly, and you struggle to feel heard and understood by the person most important to you. It's brave of you to search for help, whether this is your first or fourth time. You both deserve to be in a cherishing relationship. It is possible to be happy together again. If you are ready to do the work, I can help.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.

These days many people are realizing how important our mental and emotional health is. Maybe your anxiety has been increasing, or you notice your mood has been changing. Perhaps you’re noticing you are feeling more irritable or preoccupied. Or you’re feeling more drained and less interested in the things you used to enjoy. Or maybe, like many, you’re not quite sure what you’re feeling.

I take an integrative approach to my work that cultivates gentleness, acceptance, and compassion towards ourselves and others. I provide a safe space for you to process emotions and experiences, self-reflect without judgment, and explore ambivalence to change. My style is sincere, authentic, and direct when needed, placing an emphasis on the importance of self-awareness and how one’s thoughts can impact feelings and behaviors. I view my role in the therapeutic process less as the “expert” in the room and more as a collaborator helping clients move towards insight, authenticity, and lasting change.

Glad you found me and I look forward to working with you! I enjoy working directly with people to allow a deeper connection on a personal level whether you're new to therapy or not. I actively engage honestly and authentically in the counseling and healing process, exploring and addressing issues directly as they arise. I allow time for deeper understanding as the counseling process unfolds. I have been a successful clinical social work therapist for many years, working with a wide range of both hearing and deaf people (I sign fluently) on individual, children, youth, couple, and family issues. I also supervise other clinicians.

I work with individuals and couples who are all suffering in their own way. I believe that compassion and acceptance are necessary components of effective therapy. We all have the potential for positive change, but there are times when we have lost our perspective and feel overwhelmed. I offer an environment where you can be heard and affirmed. I believe we can find the answers by working together.

The key ingredients for a positive experience in therapy are having a counselor that is genuine, listens well, and provides support without judgment. I address many concerns but focus mainly on the following: toxic and stressful workplaces, stress, identity development and exploration, adjustment and major life transitions, work-life balance, family conflict, and racial trauma/racism.

Do you compare yourself to others? Do others seem to "have it all together"? Perhaps to the outside world it seems like your living your best life. The truth is that under that seemingly perfect exterior, everything feels painfully hard. Life isn't what you envisioned. You are struggling. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, sadness, or grief. Life doesn't have to be this way. How would it feel to know that you ARE good enough? What if you were able to quiet that inner critic and be more loving and accepting of yourself? How would it feel to feel safe and secure and to connect with your intuition and heart? All of this is possible.
