Are you feeling that life is more difficult than it should be? Do you think you might be suffering from anxiety or depression? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand these feelings can be very painful, scary, and all-consuming. That is why I use a collaborative, non-judgmental approach during the course of therapy. My work begins with listening to my clients with compassion. Once that connection is made with a therapist, I believe the client is on the road to having a brighter future. I look forward to speaking with you, and answering your questions.

I work from an empathic perspective which means I want to come to know you in a non-judgmental way at a pace that is comfortable to you. Do you find yourself searching for answers, unable to find satisfaction in both work and relationships? Are you searching for something greater and more in life that never seems to come? Do you feel you are somehow undercutting yourself, demeaning your accomplishments? Are you feeling alienated from others in social situations or when around other people?

Life is about transition. And with each transition comes challenges. Some are easy and some more difficult to manage.
Sometimes the challenge comes in the form of a failed relationship, sometimes we lose a loved one and feel the desolation and loneliness of dealing with life's challenges alone, sometimes anxiety takes over and renders us less capable of managing our daily responsibilities. Sometimes we act in ways that even we do not fully understand or that moves us further and further away from success, happiness and serenity.

As an Individual and Family Therapist I specialize in depression, anxiety, peer management, school refusal, social/school anxiety, anger management, relationship problems, LGBQT, men's and women's issues.
We all have the power to make choices which can change the quality of our lives. At times, It can be difficult to make those choices and take action when we are held back by emotional pain. It takes courage to face this pain, whether it be from anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or challenging life transitions. Most often others do not understand what we are experiencing even if we try to explain. As a professional counselor, I am confident in every child's, adolescent's and adult's unique possibilities and I am committed to helping you find solutions, healing, and empowerment.

I believe that the success of therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship. As a psychologist I know that therapy can be an anxiety producing process, therefore I do my best to make my patients feel comfortable. I am very interactive and I often ask questions and offer suggestions. My ideal client is a child, adolescent, or adult that is experiencing anxiety; either generalized or concerning a specific issue. I work within a cognitive behavioral modality, offering ways to empower patients to help themselves cope with their symptoms of anxiety. I specialize in helping patients deal with anxiety, depression or life changes such as divorce.
