I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years providing mental health services. My background in Social Work and Counseling Psychology has given me an appreciation of how we are shaped by both nature and nurture. Through the lens of Cognitive and Behavior and Psychoanalytic psychotherapy, we will explore your unique history and learn to identify maladaptive thoughts and behavior patterns. New insights can lead to greater self acceptance and positive life changes. I provide a warm and accepting environment for adolescents and adults of all ages.

Normal life events can be stressful when they exceed your ability to cope. Losses like the death of a loved one, separation/divorce, relocation or retirement, or an "empty nest" may threaten your emotional and physical health. Even positive events like marriage or the birth of a child require substantial adjustment. While small amounts of stress can be a positive motivator, prolonged exposure to stress may lead to anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to cope with the demands placed on you, it is probably time to see a therapist.

I serve clients who struggle with anxiety, ADHD/ADD, depression, self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. My theoretical views are based off of Cognitive Behavioral Theory in which our thoughts, emotions and behaviors have a cyclical effect on each other. In order to change our behavior, we must first learn how our thoughts/beliefs affect our emotions and behaviors. Goals may include building coping and emotional regulation skills, self-esteem, self-awareness, mindfulness skills, acceptance, conflict resolution, and communication skills.

I’ve always been fascinated by the butterfly effect because I find it relatable to therapy. The theory says small things can lead to large-scale changes in the future state. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. In therapy, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and making changes in life can seem daunting. My goal is to provide you with insight and teach you strategies that may have that effect on you. It can be hard to see the change you are making in the moment but when you look back, you realize all of those little things actually made a significant impact; thus the butterfly effect.

Do people say how great your life is and how great you are, but as you smile and nod you know that deep down you’re consumed with anxiety, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, or self-doubt? Are your nights plagued obsessing about the next day, recounting all the “silly” things you said or did, or reliving all your regrets? Does the possibility of making mistakes scare the hell out of you and keep you stuck? And, have you ever felt confident when you’re alone and believe you can conquer the world, but once you’re around other people, your adult self suddenly becomes an awkward teenager?

Navigating the complex world of childhood and adolescence poses unique challenges for young individuals, as they face an array of stressors ranging from peer interactions to academic pressures and personal identity issues. Therapy for children and adolescents extends beyond addressing complex psychological diagnoses or intervening in crises. It serves a fundamental role in helping young individuals manage everyday stressors like school challenges, peer relationships, and self-discovery. We can work on building those bridges to help your children and adolescents better understand themselves, and have their best life possible.
