My philosophy is based on the social work premise that as a therapist I must meet the client where the client is...meaning that I want to understand your needs and goals to help you create the life you want. I offer therapy to assist clients with difficulties associated with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual identity and transgender issues. Women in all stages of life and folks transitioning to new identities are of special interest to me. I am passionate about providing specialized services, including trauma processing, to meet the psychological and emotional needs of law enforcement officers and their families.
"No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal" (M. Ferguson). I use my compassion and knowledge to help individuals find, open and walk through their gate. The journey is challenging but with help, achievable
If you are suffering from acute and/or chronic stress, feeling alone, isolated and perhaps hopeless do not give up! Whether you work in law enforcement, are recovering from a trauma or transitioning to your authentic self I understand your need for empathy and support. My knowledge may help you find the acceptance, contentment, peace that all humans seek.
