Experiencing a stressful time? Considering entering counseling? If so, it is important to understand the ideas that guide the work of your therapist. My style is to provide a warm and encouraging environment. I believe that using psychodynamic and cognitive methods are most effective. I work with clients on a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, relapse prevention and personal growth through life changes. I bring specialized training and personal experience to my work with those challenged by reproductive issues such as pre and post partum anxiety, infertility and pregnancy loss.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I will work alongside you to define and work towards your goals. I approach all clients from a strengths based perspective, which has been shaped around the philosophy that people are not fundamentally fragile. We are not cut down by hardships and tribulations, rather, we may be strengthened through thoughtful and practiced responses to stressors and pain. I will help clients use these principles to promote their strengths and to improve confidence and functioning. Although I have experience with a variety of populations, I am especially versed in grief work.

My ideal client is female, male, or nonbinary and is kind and generous, has good ethics, and loves to help others. They have been experiencing low self-esteem and have been numbing out emotions through food, technology, work, or other distractions. Their numbing-out practices have held them back from being their authentic self, productivity with work, maintaining healthy and loving friendships and relationships, having enough energy, and their overall self-esteem. They are ready to commit to putting in the work in therapeutic services to help them develop and maintain healthier coping skills.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

As a therapist for over 25 years I've been fortunate to witness the inspiring process of positive change in many wonderful and dedicated clients. I believe that a therapist is simply a guide on a journey through the navigations of life challenges. This belief is at the core of what motivates me to work with those who are struggling. Challenges can often seem overwhelming and too much to handle alone, which is why my approach emphasizes supportive exploration, identification, management, or elimination of the root problem.
