Sometimes we hit a point in our lives where we realize we need the support of a non-biased person to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. If you are ready to make a positive change in your life and take back control, we may be a good match. I have experience working alongside children, adolescents, and adults to support them with this journey. I work with each person to prioritize and support in creating small manageable goals to meet their end goal. Sometimes change feels impossible or overwhelming, but I am available to process your next steps to create a sense of wellness and increase your happiness.

Sometimes we feel stuck. Grief, anxiety, depression, and health issues can overwhelm you and make everyday life feel like you are spinning your wheels. Are you wanting to gain some traction to start healing? Are you ready for change? Are you looking for the next steps to living your best life? I have been in the field of clinical social work for 30 years using several modalities to help individuals make change in their lives. I use a holistic approach that looks at how we treat our bodies, what thoughts we have, how we connect to others, and how we connect to the universe.

I know how difficult it is to sort through the clutter of endless therapy websites while you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck. How do you find the right therapist when it feels like no one will understand you anyways? Just getting through the day is already hard enough. You have big feelings that you're ashamed of having because it feels like no one else does. Your thoughts are self-critical, making you think you’re not good enough or like you don’t belong. You’re juggling relationships and responsibilities, all while trying to hide that you feel anxious and sad. And all you want is to feel happy and have healthy relationships.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety and stress, depression and other mood disorders, relationships and interpersonal issues, adjustment and acculturation, body image and eating concerns, identity development, and academic issues. I consider myself a generalist and am comfortable treating a variety of presenting issues; however, I am particularly interested in helping clients explore concerns related to perfectionism, sexual orientation, romantic relationships, and racial or ethnic identity development.

At times, life comes at you fast, and as the old saying goes, "when it rains, it pours". During times of high stress and transition we often forget our ability to strive and thrive through the difficulties. Are you currently feeling stuck on your journey? Dealing with grief and/or loss? Struggling academically? Anxious about day to day uncertainties? You have come to the right place. With encouragement, I believe individuals have the ability to take control, channel their strengths into progress, grow their resiliency, and reconstruct their life trajectory.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! Therapy can help everyone, not just those with a "diagnosis." In everyday life, challenges are thrown at us that we can't always work out on our own. I help people process these challenges as they occur. Death of a loved one, relationship issues, work stressors, life transitions, etc - can be upsetting, distracting and decrease overall happiness and quality of life. Evidence has shown that people who have an unbiased, safe space to process these events move through them more quickly, gain clarity, improve productivity and ultimately thrive in their lives.

We may notice life getting more difficult or confusing because we are not functioning as our true, whole self. I believe that the symptoms we are experiencing are messengers from parts of our body or mind that need healing. I work with clients holistically to make changes to the mind, body, and spirit in order to heal the individual as a whole.
