I work with individual adults in person and virtually to meet personal goals of improved emotional health and self confidence. Are you feeling increased anxiety, panic, depression, grieving a loss or reactivated past traumatic experiences? Are you experiencing changes in sleep? Find your mind won't stop worrying? Are you more easily agitated or engaging in undesired or unhealthy coping behaviors? Do you find it difficult to get going each day? Wonder if there are better ways of managing your life and relationships?

As a therapist, I am motivated to help you reach your personal goals. Whether big or small, difficult moods or your inability to cope with stressors, can make your day to day difficult to navigate. It is my passion to be able to teach and guide individuals through these difficult times, thoughts, and experiences by teaching alternate ways of coping and managing these difficult emotions.

I have been practicing for over 20 years as a social worker. I work with adolescents and older teenagers, as well as adults. Through my career, I have built an exceptional skillset which I use each day with each individual client. Reaching out for assistance can be overwhelming. Taking the first step is usually the hardest.

The human experience can be filled with joy but also suffering, this chapter of your life is causing turmoil but you are resilient. Bouts of depression, negative self talk, daily anxieties and struggling with low self esteem no longer serve you, allow yourself to work alongside a trained professional to guide you through the process of healing. Therapy can help you increase confidence, empower you to create boundaries and aid in your conscious understanding of the interconnectedness of your mind, body and spirit.

Life in today’s world so often feels like it’s moving too fast. Do you ever feel worn out, frustrated, sad, or anxious? Does your mind endlessly race? Do you struggle to take time for yourself? Maybe you just need an impartial person to talk to? If you’re wrestling with these issues, now might be the right time for therapy. My time in the field has taught me everyone needs therapy at some point in their life. Some of the tools I can use to help are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (in which I've been intensively trained), the Fairytale Model/Progressive Counting (a trauma therapy), as well as just helping people examine how they think.

Do you ever feel alone or that you are the only one to feel this way? There is no reason for you to suffer. Everyone experiences troubles in their life and I want to help you! My passion is in understanding where you are today and guiding you to where you want to be next. You may be angry, sad, confused, indifferent, or just "numb."

Creativity in therapy provides children and adolescents with a safe and non-verbal means of expressing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of art as a therapeutic tool to heal and grow. Through the creative process, children can explore their inner world, gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, and develop a greater understanding of themselves. This self-exploration can lead to improved self-esteem and self-awareness.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards healing and inner peace. It's not easy to ask for help, but when you do it's a huge relief. Sometimes life brings intense trauma, tough relationships, or family who makes you feel bad about yourself. You don't need to handle this alone anymore and no human being deserves permanent suffering.

Whether expected or unexpected, we all go through changes or transitions in life. Have you gone through a major life change recently? Even though you may be planning and excited for this transition, that doesn't mean stress and anxiety necessarily go away. Now let's add a pandemic to the mix! This past year is a perfect example of an unexpected change that highly impacted many areas of our life. I think it's safe to say we have all had moments of panic, fear, or overwhelming anxiety triggered by COVID-19. Do you find that you are still struggling with these feelings?

You haven’t felt good for months. You can’t get out of your head and your thoughts are constantly racing. Your feelings are in the driver’s seat of your life instead of you. You feel like no one understands, and you’re all alone. All you want to do is change this! Yet you feel so restless, you can't be still or concentrate on one thing for very long. We want to offer you hope that it doesn't have to stay this way. It’s possible to feel whole and alive again. Your nightmares don’t have to haunt you into the day. You can have peace and connection, with yourself and with others. Your joy and energy for life aren’t gone forever.

It’s never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. You can start whenever you want. You can make the best of things or the worst of things. You can live a life that you are proud of and if not, there is help to start over. You just need to take the first step.

Seeking therapy can be frustrating, overwhelming and scary. You hope to find someone who understands what you're going through, what you've been through or what you're about to face. Life can be difficult and complicated. Sometimes we feel alone and need someone to talk to or we just want someone who is not in our circle. Someone who won't judge. Someone who will take the time to listen and give a different perspective. We all have different ways of approaching problems, managing them and getting the outcomes we desire. Therapy is about finding what works best for you and working together towards it.
