My ideal client would be someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of struggling mentally. This person would have years of experience with close relationship failure and consistent loss, have seen or been a victim of domestic violence, been verbally or physically abused as a child, and or experienced poverty. They will have either ignored the signs or continued to survive because of fear of what others would think. The person will need to understand what they are experiencing is not their fault, and their goal is to break free of the cycle that has continued for so long.

Asking for help is not an easy thing to do. If it were, we would all do it without hesitation. Instead, we set high expectations for ourselves and are resistant to receiving support. We struggle and accept that lifestyle as our norm. I am here to remind you of two indisputable facts; first, life is challenging. Second - and most importantly - is that we do not have to go through it alone. As a licensed social worker (LSW), my goal is to provide judgment-free, supportive spaces for clients where we can process, manage daily stressors, and learn healthy coping skills to incorporate in life for years to come.

Do you feel that you are ready to make a positive change in your life? You are in the right place! Making the decision to be on a therapeutic journey can really improve your life and takes courage.

I am privileged to join with you to create a therapeutic relationship, which I provide in a supportive, trusting, comfortable and non-judgmental atmosphere. I strive to empower you, helping you to make improvements that are positive, effective and meaningful to your goals. You can live the life you desire!

Here are two things I think are important about therapy: 1) People can find relief for symptoms like worry, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and craving; and 2) People can build psychological strength. Psychological strength allows people to have more fulfilling relationships, use their capacities more effectively, and bring more flexibility and creativity to problems in living.

Everyone has a story to tell, but we often feel that the journey we are on is overwhelming and out of our control. My goal is to partner with you and figure out the ways that you can regain control of your story.

Are you seeking to know yourself and others in a more genuine and authentic way? I believe that meaningful relationships with our self, our partner(s), family, friends, and community are essential to our overall sense of wellness, life satisfaction and emotional security. Using a systemic, attachment-based framework, I seek to create an environment that is affirming, strengths-based and collaborative, while also challenging my clients to identify narratives that no longer serve them, behaviors that move them further from their goals, and dynamics they feel stuck in.

Our relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. Trust, comfort and clear communication promotes change and positive life transistion. I believe strongly in a calm and safe environment along with conversation, understanding and therapeutic homework. So many of us struggle with focusing on others rather than on ourselves. Taking responsibility and control of our own lives is the first step in creating emotional health. I have worked in this area for my entire career and greatly enjoy helping my clients to take the wheel of their own life! I offer Video or Telephone sessions for your convenience.
