Managing life stressors and balancing relationships are common issues that we as humans are facing today.We struggle attempting to do it all and more often than not we wind up feeling burned out and/or checked out. We are existing instead of living. I view therapy as offering the opportunity to gain another perspective on life experiences and explore how to navigate them more effectively. Once we gift ourselves the opportunity to engage in therapy we become better equipped to function from a place of gratitude which automatically shifts us into a healthier state of mind.

I am a LCSW, offering treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. I help clients handle their emotion and behavior with different situations throughout their life, ranging from temper tantrums / social skills in childhood; to peer pressure in adolescence; pressures of college, finding your career path and maintaining relationships in young adulthood; adjusting to various life transitions come middle / late adulthood (relationship issues, adjusting lifestyle when children leave home, illness, caring for children and parents simultaneously). These are only a small gamut of life transitions that could take over and overwhelm some of us at one time or another.

I believe life is about finding a sense of empowerment, self discovery and growth. At times, having someone to talk to and connect with about the challenges and fears we face can be helpful. That is where counseling can be of service! If you are looking for an empathic counselor to work with and help you reconnect with your capabilities please give me a call. I specialize in working with adults and young adults who have experienced various forms of distress ranging from depression, anxiety, substance use and bipolar disorder to difficulty managing life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship issues and stress.

Most clients begin therapy after having engaged in their own soul-searching and independent efforts to change.They may be nervous about starting treatment, but they generally have a high level of motivation and a willingness to accept responsibility for making positive changes. My clients prefer their therapist to be quite active and, when necessary, quite willing to point out inconsistencies and unhealthy tendencies.

No matter the situation, everyone deserves a chance and a helping hand. Whether the person just needs to take that one, final step, or is just coming to the realization that major changes are needed, I can provide the assistance, direction and support required to make mental health an achievable goal. My ideal client has concrete goals that he/she is looking to reach with the help of therapy and is willing to accept that therapy is an active process that requires work on the part of the client. Therapy is seen as a means to an end.

Having spent 30 years in practice, I have learned the importance of approaching each individual as unique and each problem as solvable. The most essential aspect of therapy is the trusting relationship I have with each client. I ask thoughtful questions that lead to insightful changes.
