I work with clients who are ready for change and growth in their life. Some areas that my clients work on are relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, and depression. I believe that people are capable of making change in their own lives, but that the therapist-client relationship can provide the support that people need to do so.

Additionally, during my career I’ve worked with clients to treat a variety of disorders including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders. I have additionally worked with clients facing varying challenges including self-harm, suicidal ideation, and trauma

I have worked as a psychologist for over 30 years, and still appreciate how much courage it takes to make the decision to begin therapy and to follow through with that decision. I have worked with many adults to address depression, anxiety, traumas, stresses, losses, or other concerns. I respect the courage it takes to talk about thoughts, feelings and situations that are difficult and uncomfortable. I always work to have a judgement free space and together, with a client, work to increase their understanding of themselves and better illuminate opportunities for making the changes they may seek.

We all go through valleys and peaks in our lives. Sometimes the only way to get out of a deep pit is through grasping the hand that is there to help you. I have seen personally what can happen with the help of someone who offers unconditional support and encouragement, moving one out of the darkness and into the light. I am particularly passionate about holistic health and wellness and believe we are all on a journey toward better health. In addition to my Master's Degree in Social Work, I have completed a certificate through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and enjoy bringing all areas of wellness in greater focus.
