Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Trying to manage your mental health with an already existing mood disorder, personality disorder, or, on top of that, an active addiction or one in remission? Or, are you worried there is more going on than just being unable to cope the way you used to, and it's getting harder and harder to get back to feeling some kind of normal? You know you must do something about it - your livelihood depends on it. You are a professional in healthcare, run a company, a team, a household, and you're running on empty. It's time to prioritize your mental health. It's time to prioritize you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Ph.D Candidate, I practice Psychotherapy specializing in co-occurring disorders and professional burnout. We begin by meeting for a consult to see if I support your needs, then begin our sessions by developing a treatment plan together that is aimed at reaching your goals and identifying any diagnosis where needed.
When you are used to being the one that others turn to - needing to ask someone else for support is one the hardest things to do. But what feels like a moment of weakness by reaching out, is actually one of courage. Who you want to be for others begins with showing up for yourself. And, it can be the first step of many.

I work with clients who may be struggling with co-occurring disorders, working to manage their addictive disorder while doing the same with a mood or personality disorder. During our initial sessions, we delve deep to uncover the underlying issues of both and work together to create a treatment plan. Most of my clients see a gradual improvement in symptoms within the first month of treatment.

In my practice, I often use a relational approach, using the first sessions to establish your needs and the preferred practice method that will benefit you most. Combining relational with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is often used, along with Depth Psychology to examine the underlying issues throughout our work together. For anxiety and OCD I offer Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
