Life is filled with experiences that can impact us in many ways. Leaving us to decide if we are living a fulfilling life, or if we need assistance in achieving our highest potential. Individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons such as anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem/ identity issues, life transitions, and more. Self-discovery is an internal process which helps us to create a balanced approach to change. I have experience with working with individuals across the lifespan.

For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. For the majority of those years, I have been providing mental health therapy to individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and mood disorders, to name a few. I feel that I have a unique way of using everyday language to help people better understand how to cope with life's challenges. I am diverse in my treatment approach, which I feel is necessary in treating the unique challenges in today's world.

Each of my clients is my priority. When you become a patient with me, you gain my full attention, care, and drive to address and treat your concern(s). While I have decades of experience to bring to the table, I also know that each of my clients is a unique person in a unique situation, and what works for one patient may not be the correct course of action for another. I take the time you deserve to truly understand your situational factors as well as mental factors regarding your concern, and work to find the correct path forward for YOU.

I am a full-time practioner, and have been a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings. I am not accepting new clients, other than the folks i have already communicated with. Trust is an important part of any relationship. I understand that it is something that is created slowly, and maintained over time. I often serve as someone who bears witness to the stories people bring with them. By listening to those that come to see me, I better understand their experiences and then have an opportunity to assist them to fully heal.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

The ache for a sense of belonging is deeply human. This ache might show up as feeling displaced, isolated, lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected in your relationships. This battle may stem from a challenging life transition, the loss of a loved one or relationship, past trauma, or a feeling you just cannot name. I firmly believe that each of us carries the solutions within ourselves, shaped by our individual experiences; sometimes we just need a safe space to show up as we are to explore those parts within us.

I have been working in the social work field for over 24 years. My experience has been primarily with Adolescents and Adults who suffer from addiction and mental health disorders. I enjoy the process of engaging individuals and trying to develop a working relationship built upon sincerity and trust. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect of any effective counseling session. I understand and recognize that each individual is unique and brings his/her different life experiences and circumstances to the therapeutic relationship which serve as their building blocks of internal change and self-growth.
