Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, retirement communities, nursing homes, and youth centers. I specialize in issues including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, work-life balance, stress, relationship struggles, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth. I tailor counseling to fit the needs of each client, and integrate wellness, solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), structured life review, narrative therapy, person-centered, and strength-based approaches.

I have been counseling since 1992 in private practice. I specialize in counseling adults that suffer trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, relationship issue, stress management, and anger management.

I work with individuals who are interested in addressing life stressors such as Anxiety, Financial stressors, Career Counseling, Relationship Issues, Women’s Issues, Self-esteem, School Issues, Stress and Chronic Illness. I have 12 years of experience helping individuals from diverse backgrounds develop healthy coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. We will work together to build upon your strengths and find new ways of coping with life’s challenges.

I tend to work well with someone who yearns for understanding. Someone who may crave social interaction, but is not quite sure how to go about it. Someone who is developing their identity and consolidating their sense of self. Someone who wants more out of life but is not quite sure how to get it. Someone who feels lost and plagued with self-doubt. Someone who is not sure why they engage in the same self-defeating behaviors over and over and over. I am open to working with a wide diversity of clients who represent various sexualities, ethnicities, racial identities, genders, and ages.

I specialize in trauma (PTSD), perinatal disorders, and couples counseling using a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including both cognitive (“talk therapy”) and neuro-based approaches (EMDR, etc.). Trauma, such as childhood abuse or neglect, sexual violence, domestic violence, etc., can create chaos in many areas of your life, including relationships, parenting, work/school performance, and even your physical health. My goal is to provide a warm and compassionate space where we can explore not just the trauma itself, but also how it intersects with other issues and patterns in your life.

Would you like to feel more confident, calm, patient, or brave? Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, worried, exhausted, stressed, sad, or uncertain. Maybe you’d like to learn some new strategies to help you feel better and truly be the person you want to be. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, phobias, low self-esteem, high sensitivity, or trauma, I am dedicated to providing you with a warm, safe, peaceful, and judgement-free environment in which you can openly express yourself and obtain relief.

I am a clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience assisting adults, children, youth and families in overcoming some of life's challenges including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety life transitions and relationship issues. My approach to therapy is one of partnership; working together with you to develop goals that are important to you. I particularly like working with children and youth and their caregivers in order to enhance relationships and overall functioning.

I welcome the opportunity to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Some of the areas that I have extensive experience in are depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addictions, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. My approach to counseling varies according to the individual needs of my clients, however, my training has focused on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) and family systems therapy. This broad base of training allows me the flexibility to choose research-based interventions that are most appropriate for each client's needs. I work with individuals (ages 8 and up), couples and families.

Patient hours: Tues & Thurs 8am-2pm. Remote/virtual sessions also available. Are you going through a tough time and feel like life is unraveling before your eyes? Does it seem like nobody understands what you are going through or you're on an emotional rollercoaster? Thought you would never be in this place? Do you feel alone, anxious, depressed and just want to wave a magic wand and feel better? Do you want to feel hopeful you can do things differently? Do you need to take care of yourself?

Are you looking to talk with someone for yourself or a loved one? Thank you for taking that important first step by exploring here! Are there issues with stress, anxiety, grief, loss, sadness, communication, or a life transition? Are you a new or new-again parent navigating the "terrible 2s" or "challenging 3's" with your child? These are just some of the reasons why clients, from children to adults, come to counseling with me in English and Spanish. My clients come into counseling with me to see how to heal, grow, gain new ideas, skills, and understanding, and know they are not alone.

Is your marriage in a rut? Feeling disappointed or unfulfilled can lead to anxiety, stress, disconnection, low desire/sexual frustration, conflict, resentment & even betrayal. Instead of feeling “stuck” you just want the peace of being close, connected, and "in love" again.

Are you feeling burnout? Not sure what do to and how to break out of the patterns of your daily life? I've found that people like you experience feeling so connected that you feel disconnected from the people who mean the most to you.

I believe that therapy is one of the most constructive tools and resources at our disposal. I believe by analyzing, evaluating and modifying our life philosophy, thinking and interaction patters we can make effective change and improve the quality of our lives. As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, respectful and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. As we work together I will gain an understanding to appropriately implement and modify my treatment approach to meet your needs.
