Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

I GOT U! Untraditional Approach that BRINGS results. Most clients face procrastination, lack of motivation, and a feeling of being stuck and not knowing what to do on a daily basis. Many do not feel "understood" and perhaps have been told they were "dumb" or "lazy." Many want to be more independent and less tethered to their loved ones. My clients want strategies, ASAP, that they can use for better organization, planning, self-advocating, communicating AND self-care. Many clients "hate school" or dislike their jobs/relationships, but don't know how to react. Often, it's "simple but not easy." Modeling good strategies is my strength.
