Congratulations on your decision to move forward with researching therapists in your area! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker specializing in mental health counseling with children, adolescents, and their families. I provide a safe and caring space where clients are given the opportunity to work toward achieving mental wellness, peace, and happiness. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, behavioral disturbances, social and emotional issues, parent/child relationships, parenting, and behavior management.

As a therapist, my goal is to support clients in their journey by using individualized treatment approaches. One of the most important indicators of treatment success is the connection between client and therapist. I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in order to help untangle them. I believe that effective therapy can promote a renewed sense of self-worth and understanding through supported self-discovery.

Grief can feel overwhelming. Shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, and deep sadness are all normal reactions. You might feel physical symptoms. Sleep and appetite are often affected. Mentally you might feel confused, disoriented or forgetful. Grief can make you feel lost and out of control. Grief and loss are experienced for many reasons. Death is only one. The losses associated with pandemic and other significant life events affect us in profound ways.

Beginning your journey to improve your mental health can seem overwhelming at first, but is truly something we all deserve. In working with you, I strive to create a non-judgmental space in which empathy, respect, and warmth are highly prioritized. In this space, we will work to make the day-to-day more manageable while cultivating tools to navigate life’s ups and downs. I enjoy working with children, teens, & young to middle aged adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, family conflict/trauma, and other various issues.

I am a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor who has been practicing in the fields of substance abuse and mental health for over 20 years. My patients have come to me because of struggles with depression, anxiety, relationships, infertility issues, and substance abuse. I have a special affinity for working with those who have abused opiates, and their family members. Are you living a life in recovery, but still have some issues to work through? Are you a family member of someone who struggles with addiction? Or do you just need someone to talk to - someone to support you through the rough patches and every day life struggles?

Finding a therapist that you connect with, who understands you, is the one of the first important steps in your journey of healing and change. I would love the opportunity to help you in that journey. In my twenty years experience, practicing in the mental health field, I have used a cognitive-behavioral approach, coupled with a strengths-based philosophy, to partner with my clients, creating a trusting, non-judgmental environment. Together we can work towards having you let go of destructive thoughts, feelings and experiences that have prevented you from living the life you want.

Are you consumed by negative thoughts and you don't know where to turn? Are you a teenager or adult grappling with unhealthy behaviors that just won’t stop?

Gaining insight into those patterns we easily fall into, is a necessary step to making profound changes in our lives.
