We will always start our work together with focusing on what you are experiencing right now. I can help you find peace and balance as you learn to cope and adjust to the various stresses of life. We can also begin to explore how your past experiences may be influencing you today. Often times we know that our upbringing was not maybe the "best" and as a result we can feel less than fully appreciated and un-validated. This can have longterm effects on our self-esteem and wellbeing. Therapy allows us to fully explore any repeating patterns in your life, and offer freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and suffering.

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology in 1973 and a Master's Degree in Social Work in 2003. When I entered the field of social work, SW degrees were not required and neither was licensing. Populations I have worked with included helping clients on General Welfare, Child Protective Services, Homeless, Men struggling with substance abuse addiction, and Veterans diagnosed with Mental Illness. I am comfortable working with everyone! Currently, I enjoy supervising Social Work Interns plus I have two child clients and several adult clients. My preference is teens to adults.

Do you get anxious and flooded with emotions that keep from being yourself? Do you avoid conflict, procrastinate and put on a happy face to just go with the flow? Sometimes unhealthy coping habits creep in…are you using substances or unhealthy habits to calm yourself or to avoid speaking your truth to others? Numbing yourself or “rewarding" yourself with an addiction does not have a positive outcome. Let me help you show up for yourself and those you care about most.

When people are at the point of yearning for something different but find themselves stuck and needing an ally to support them in the journey of being the best version of themselves, therapy is a great resource. When people experience trauma, it is not uncommon for life to become overwhelming. When people struggle and feel stuck it can be difficult to figure out where to start. My passion is triggering that yearning to help others develop a mindset and lifestyle where they work towards being the best version of themselves. I am excited to support you in your journey of being the best version of yourself!

Hello! I assume you've come because "life is lifeing". Do you feel overwhelmed with your daily life? Has it become harder to keep 'pushing through'? Maybe you are going through some season changes/life transitions. Or perhaps your past has gotten in the way...thoughts you can't stop thinking? Behaviors which are no longer serving you that you are having a hard time changing...? I want to help you get 'unstuck'. In fact, that's my super power! I believe that new thoughts give way to new behaviors, and new behaviors build new life.

During difficult times, the word “unravel” resonates with most of us. As human beings, at some point, we are bound to experience life stressors, trauma events, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting struggles etc. I am aware there is no single therapeutic approach, and a range of flexibility and modalities is key to guide and assist in finding resolution and balance. My goal is to bring healing to the people who have been through traumatic/stressful experiences and struggling to anchor, reflect and or reset. I believe in meeting clients where they are and in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Spanish
