I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the therapy community for the past 10+ years. I create a safe, comfortable environment to share and explore the thoughts and areas of your life you want to change. My goal is to help you identify the challenges in your life and guide you through the necessary steps with appropriate therapeutic modalities to improve your situation, give you a better quality of life, and foster hope. I am a dedicated therapist and social worker who treats each individual client with care, respect, and very specific treatment approaches in order to suit your particular needs.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

Stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions may be a normal part of life, but they don't have to be in the driver's seat on life's journey. Through my 25+ years of experience as a counselor and my personal experience of having to reclaim the driver's seat from debilitating anxiety/depression, I have learned the truth behind Marcel Proust's claim that "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes". It is my goal to help people gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences.

Do you feel mentally or emotionally depleted? Are your experiences with trauma impacting your relationships? Are you tired of making decisions that don't serve who you want to be? Individual therapy explores how all parts of your life work together and, with various treatment strategies, can support you in managing distress. In our time together, we will explore experiences, thoughts, and core beliefs that may prevent you from being where you truly want to be. Additionally, you gain tools and skills to equip you for the journey ahead.

If what you need is a healing journey from life's challenges or relationship complexities, I'm here to guide you. Whether you're navigating traumas, in need of coping strategies, or wanting lasting positive changes, your journey is at the heart of my warm, personalized approach. From self-discovery to resilience, find a genuine connection and expert support crafted just for you. Let's embark together on a personal path to well-being, where the focus is on your needs and aspirations with understanding, compassion, and heartfelt expertise.

Does life feel heavy right now? Are you feeling overwhelmed or struggling with taking the slightest step forward? Stress can seem unrelenting and never ending. Trauma can seem staggering and unbearable.

On the outside, it appears you have a great life, but deep down, something is missing. You may feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful, exhausted, or empty. You often do not think you're "good enough." Despite your achievements, you expected life to be more fulfilling. You're not living the life you dreamed of and need help figuring out where to begin. You can make a change starting today. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life. We help people like you discover self-care strategies, slow down and reconnect with themselves,

Most people with anxiety or depression don’t realize how their negative self-talk keeps them down and actually deepens their anxiety or depression. After working with me, my clients identify and reverse the effects of their negative self-talk, start feeling energized and motivated to do the things they used to enjoy, and are able to experience the simple joys of being alive again.

You want to make changes in your world, but you feel overwhelmed. Feelings of stress and anxiety leave you unsure of where to even start. You would like to talk to someone, but you are afraid of being misunderstood and judged. The loneliness from not being able to open up about what is happening just creates more helplessness, confusion, and pain.
