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.

Should I stay or should I go? Sometimes stress gets in the way of the life we planned. Getting stuck is never fun...whether it is you, your partner, your children or your job. We become anxious about what to do next because we fear making a mistake. We know that we have to do something because doing nothing makes it worse, not better! Sometimes we simply need some guidance in how to move forward...sometimes help in letting go. I have been helping struggling couples, individuals and families for 30 years. Let me help you.

Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

You just made the first step toward making a change in your life! Throughout our lives, we experience emotions such as anxiety, anger, sorrow, shame, depression, or worthlessness. Often they are the result of the loss of a loved one, unresolved conflict (at home, on the job &/or within oneself), trauma, loneliness or isolation. I believe that what we perceive as problems are really opportunities to make lasting improvements in ourselves and to become more fully human. Life is a series of transitions; we are all a work in progress, and can often benefit from help along the way.

Everyone faces difficulties in life. These difficulties can be experienced as disappointment, challenge, adversity, or trauma. People cope with their struggles the best that they can with the resources they have available. When these difficult situations cause a person to have problems functioning, attaining their goals, or feeling satisfied with their life it can be helpful to work with a professional mental health therapist. This can help by having someone to talk with about their difficulties, especially if it is something traumatic that they struggle to share with other people in their life.
