I am an experienced Social Worker. I have worked for several years with children, youth and families. I provide therapy that is culturally sensitive because I recognize that people from different backgrounds have different values, practices, and beliefs, and I am sensitive to those differences. I also try to understand and accept each client in order to create a treatment plan that is appropriate to meet their unique needs. As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe, judgement free space where you can share your story, learn more about yourself, achieve your goals and improve your health. I will also teach you skills to address symptoms on your own, which will last after therapy ends. If you will do the work, therapy can be rewarding. I offer online therapy through a secure platform or therapy by phone. Online therapy is not only a great option for those who are unwilling or unable to leave the safety of home, but it’s also a splendid solution for those juggling multiple responsibilities, such as parenting, teaching and remote work. If you want to get your life back on track, take the first step and call or email to get the help you need.
