I strive to provide a nonjudgmental and accepting environment for all clients I serve. I have training and special interest in working with the LGBT population, gender identity concerns, anxiety, trauma, depression, life adjustments, stress management, social and interpersonal skills, and relationship struggles. Relying on evidence based approaches, I use a strengths based approach as the foundation in therapy work.

I have substantial experience working with children and adolescents in the following areas: emotional and behavioral issues, trauma, adoption and foster care issues, grief/loss, learning and developmental disabilities, anger management, family/relational problems, communication and social skills, self-injurious behavior, anxiety and stress management, LGBTQ population, attachment issues, and emerging adult/life transitions.

I am a clinical social worker who has been in private practice for twenty five years. I work with clients of all ages to encourage them to know more about themselves and live more authentic lives. I believe that in therapy clients need to experience a comfortable setting in which to address issues of all kinds.

Seeking therapy for you or your child is a courageous step toward wholeness. Symptoms like lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating, or problematic mood changes are just a few reasons to seek help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked with families for over 17 years. I have specialized experience treating children and adolescent victims of sexual abuse and other trauma. The power of healing is within us all. Yet, many times, we cannot do it alone. Teaming up with a qualified, practiced therapist can help achieve the emotional well-being you seek. I look forward to being on your team.

Are you feeling lonely, hopeless and empty? Do you have relationship problems or marriage difficulties? Do you feel that no one cares or understands you? You may have tried many different approaches but nothing have worked. I am here to assist you to find happiness in your life again.

I have been a behavior analyst for the last 20 years and have worked with a variety of children and adults in need of ABA services. Being a calm and positive have been assets to me in very difficult and challenging situations.

Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety, stress, sadness, and other feelings that are difficult from time to time.

Anxiety and depression, as well as life transitions can cause you to feel alone in your journey. Life can be stressful, overwhelming and difficult at time and it takes a lot of courage and strength to take the initial steps to seek help. As a counselor, I would like to welcome the opportunity to work with you in making the changes. I will provide guidance in a nonjudgemental and a safe environment where you can feel empowered to find clarity and self-awareness to make the needed and wanted changes.

To the ones who struggle to love themselves because the voice in their head keeps telling them not to. To the adults who carry the scars of a rough childhood and the shame that comes with it. To the ones who seem like they have it all together, but are hiding their struggles with anxiety and depression behind a joke and smile. To the ones who were never taught how to deal with grief, anger, sadness, or fear and are coping the best way they know how. To the ones who were disowned or rejected by families or friends for who you love, who you are, or what you believe. I see your strength, I see your pain, and I see your courage.

Now accepting new clients. Please email me for a quicker response. You've only known yourself through labels. Someone's child, parent, spouse, friend, employee, a student, etc. However, beyond those roles, who exactly are you? You now realize that your entire identity has centered around other people and external validation, which has led you into developing poor boundaries, a tendency to people please, and self criticism. Everyone is content with the current version of you...except you.

Connecting with a therapist is one of be biggest struggles when seeking counseling. I come with more than 15 years of experience working with families, couples/relationships, and individuals.

"I provide a safe, warm, nonjudgmental environment that embraces change. I provide an empathic and supportive approach which integrates psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques in order to help clients not only reduce symptoms, but to also explore and understand the unmet needs that have driven the behavior. I help clients build upon their strengths to help empower them. Clients need to understand that they are not having a breakdown, but a break through. The symptoms your are experiencing are normal based on a abnormal experiences. Through assessments and sessions I create a specialized treatment plan.

Have you been feeling like something is wrong but you cannot pinpoint why? Do you find that you hid behind your accomplishments and don’t feel like you know yourself fully? Do you feel emotionally burnt out and not sure how to begin to take care of yourself? Do you often feel stressed, lack balance, and don’t know who you can talk to about it? I think I can help you! I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, seen ​, and understood so that they can be confident in who they are, what they want ​to do, and ultimately who they want to be. Therapy can be your first step to FEELING better and SEEING ​ better.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your OWN story! You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. You want to connect with someone who is real and can empathize with your experience. I am as real as they get! The first step, making a call to a therapist, can be the most difficult step of the entire process. Take a moment and a few deep breaths and call to see how I can help. Life is too short to be weighed down with stress, anxiety, or trauma from past experiences. You deserve to be free of emotional worries and able to create a life worth living.

Being seen and heard are gifts that a lot of us have not consistently received throughout our lives. Our humanity requires these gifts to experience fullness, wholeness, and a steady sense of self. Ruptures and traumas with society, with others, and with ourselves can be experienced as a result of not being experienced as our full selves or when we are reduced to attributes, parts, or fragments rather than as fully human. At times, we can even begin to believe that this is all we are worth or engage in scrambling to live a life of scarcity not believing we deserve a life of abundance. Our life force, though, knows that we need more.
