My areas of focus include but are not limited to helping individuals with issues of mood such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Fear, and Bi-Polar. For couples, I share principles that make relationships work. I can help couples work through issues of infidelity, or help rebuild their fondness and admiration. I help families work through life transitions like, having a baby, parenting teens, or retirement. I work with Survivors of abuse, Addiction, and Trauma. I also conduct Critical Incident Stress Debriefings for First Responders (EMS, Fire, & Police).

We are all on an adventure. An adventure that can take us to anxious, dark, and scary places. It may make it difficult to engage in everyday tasks. It can be isolating and feel like we can never find our way back. Our adventure becomes hopeless. But what if hope is not lost? Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and, as if by magic, everything was better. What would have changed? Would you have become present instead of time-traveling to past defeats or future concerns and perhaps more grounded instead of becoming lost in space on an unknown dark world? It may not be magic but let us use therapy to dispel those fears together.

I offer more than twenty-five years of experience in Christian counseling. Almost twenty years were spent in New York City as a pastoral counselor in ministerial and clinical settings.

My credentials include Master Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Organizational Leadership. THERE'S ONE MISSION - TO HELP YOU FIND PEACE, CONFIDENCE AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. (Jeremiah 29:11)

I believe in hope - the hope that things will change for the better. And they will! Sometimes, though our particular life circumstance can become so painful that it is hard to see our way out, to find peace with ourselves or acceptance of our present situation. I will help you find your path. Whether you are struggling with personal issues or having a difficult time with a life partner or other family member, together we will find a way that you will be able to have the hope of coping with your issues.

I've been waiting for you. You've read countless profiles & visited numerous sites but still haven't found the "right fit". Let me show you how my diverse & rich experience over the past 27 years in the field of mental health & law enforcement has shaped my perspective. I believe that my education, training & lived experience complement my unique insight in listening to your concerns & addressing those needs. Therapy isn't just about a talk session but the integration of the mind, body & spirit.

I have learned early on that when you actually care about what you are doing that it shines through with every client contact & everything that you do. Superheros have a superpower; mine is my heart. The heart of what I do is identifying the needs in my clients and seeing how best I can meet them through compassion, non-judgment, experienced, & skilled clinical care. I have spent more than a decade working with children & adolescents with a focus on ADHD, behavioral problems, depression and anxiety issues. With a willing child/adolescent and responsive parent, we have the opportunity to do great work together!

Even as we are collectively surviving a global pandemic, most people have struggled with feeling a sense of disconnectedness to others and with self. Uncertainty can also leave us feeling anxious while grief and loss can stimulate a range of difficult emotions at any given time. While many of us are struggling with navigating the "new normal," you may also see this as a period of vital transformation. In either case, you are deserving of the same compassion that you freely share with others. Whether you are seeking to achieve more balance or wish to feel a deeper feeling of connectedness, choose to be compassionate.

I am a warm, affirming, and empowering therapist. I graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s of Science Degree in Clinical Practice of Social Work. I found my nitch after completing undergraduate in Early Childhood Education (kudos to our teachers!) and Sociology/Psychology. These experiences paved the way to my clinical social work journey. I obtained clinical licensure by working with adolescents in both school and therapeutic settings, foster/adoptive families, and adults with serious persistent mental illness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you feeling out of control of your life? Do you feel like you want to escape from everything? Life has a way of doing this sometimes. Anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions can significantly impact our ability to manage day to day life. It can affect our relationships with the people we love most. Sometimes, no matter what we do to make things better it can feel like there's no relief. Having the right support, developing skills to effectively handle stressors and learning ways to stay anchored can help you begin to take steps in the direction you have been trying to go.

In a supportive non judgmental down-to-earth atmosphere I believe in complete transparency to fully engage each client to ensure a person centered approach to treatment and goal setting. I work with individuals and families through a HIPPA secure online portal directly through my easily accessible website. I specialize in several areas including women's issues, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, emotional distress, trauma, coping and problem solving skills, anger management, and people struggling with their day-to-day emotions and stressful situations that impact well being and decision making.
