I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who employs a family systems theoretical perspective in doing counseling with adults, adolescents, and children. Depending upon the particular client, I will conduct individual, couple/marital, or family sessions to help individuals gain insight into the dynamics of his or her family of origin. This approach includes an examination of the manner in which these behavior patterns are currently influencing the client's relationships with dating partners, spouses, children, in-laws, friends, co-workers, supervisors, employers, and other significant individuals in the client's life.

Are you experiencing a transition in your life? Transitions can be distracting and difficult to navigate, even the ones we are excited about! They take us out of our comfort zones and create an imbalance in our lives, our connections with others and, most importantly, our relationship with ourselves. Often we may not fully understand what is really happening and we just feel a limiting undercurrent that is hard to describe or pinpoint. Without support, these undercurrents may manifest as feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, numbing, avoidance, or emotional paralysis.

Women are feeling the pressure to be perfect & to do it all now more than ever. We are dropping out of the workforce or working at our careers then working "the double shift" at home. You tell yourself that you wont reach your goals. You predict what will happen and constantly ask “but what if...” You feel like something is broken or missing. You don't feel good enough. Despite your accomplishments, you feel like a failure. You put other peoples needs first. These thoughts have taken over and keep you up at night. I am here to help.

Have you wondered where your life is going and found that personal difficulties have gotten in your way? My clients come to see me with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship, children and many other issues. I see symptoms as an opportunity for growth. Therapy, like life, is a journey with definite stages. Initially, I work with the individual in talking about their life and issues of concern. The next stage involves processing and healing the stuck places. As this occurs, I see people then ready to find their resources, living into their goals, their essence, their being.

Do you love someone who has an addiction? Have you recently lost someone close to you? Are you coming to terms with the effects of an affair or having relationship difficulties? Addiction, infidelity, grief, and loss are things that many of us struggle with and during these times it can be easy to lose sight of what we need or what makes our lives have meaning. I have found that acceptance, gratitude, and building resilience help us through our most trying times. Having done this work at many important junctures in my life, I offer my assistance to those who are going through these and other difficult life transitions.
