Hi! Making the step you are making right now is HUGE and I'm grateful that you are considering me as your therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) focusing on depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, grief and loss, interpersonal conflicts, and addiction. I believe that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all," so I work from a person-centered approach and incorporate treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Making the decision to seek out help and pursue therapy takes courage! Whatever the issues are that are leading you to take this step, it is a privilege to work with you on your path to healing and recovery.

I work best with adults looking to address trauma/PTSD, history of substance use issues, family dynamic issues, co-dependency, depression, anxiety, mood disorders and self-injury.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”- Maya Angelou. Are you lost in your emotions and feel like life is “unraveling”? One of the bravest things you can do is seek help and begin to understand your own story. I believe early life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us that can develop into negative beliefs about who we are. Over time old beliefs and patterns that once helped protect us are no longer useful and can cause disruption in all areas of life. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, let trauma control us and feel anxious/depressed/angry all the time.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most crucial component in ensuring that the client can make significant changes in their life. Everyone deserves to discuss their personal issues in an environment that provides safety, validation, compassion, and empathy. I utilize a psychodynamic approach when working with clients because I feel that our environments shape who we are. During different developmental periods in our life, there can be disruptions that cause future heartache, some which may need to be uncovered. I offer virtual sessions as well as in person sessions.

We all have a story. We often cling persistently to the stories of our past, where our earliest dysfunctional patterns of relating to others created templates for future relationships. Such templates can be filled with distorted beliefs and expectations of ourselves and others. Your story may have some significant challenges to overcome. But your story doesn’t have to be a tale of woe. And you don't have to change it all by yourself. I'm here to help you rewrite your story so you experience more fulfilling relationships, live more fully in the present, and find the best parts of yourself.
