In the most simplistic manner, life has a tendency to produce uncertain situations that divert our attention and challenges those of us with the best of intentions. Often times, as adults with professional careers, families, and home commitments, we are left contemplating (or second guessing) our role and purpose in life. Too often, individuals are left with the aching pit in their stomach, the feelings of rejection, and the fear of the unknown; however, despite such feelings, we press on because cognitively, our thinking has been programmed to fight through the nuances of life.

“You can’t see inside someone’s heart unless you ask.” These words resonate with me and are the foundation of my practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I pride myself on being the therapist that questions you to work through your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Seeking to understand begins by asking the questions that influence an open and pure conversation that leads to connection and healing. Through dialogue, psycho-education, and uncovering, you can forge a stronger relationship with yourself, which is the most important one you will ever have. You can find relief from trauma,depression, anxiety, PTSD & loneliness.

Feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, stress, or other issues life throws our way can be overwhelming. Being offered support to help guide us through these heavy issues is something that many individuals can benefit from. Over the course of our therapeutic relationship, we will work on fine tuning the skills necessary to face the various issues we encounter.

Counseling is not my first career. I served in the Army, attaining the rank of Captain, and I am a Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After the Army, I became a Licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant specializing in sensory integration with children, teens, and adults. I spent over six years working with elementary and secondary school children to help them process and regulate their sensory systems. I have also worked in skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers. It was during this time that I realized I wanted to use sensory integration to help people struggling with their mental health.

I thrive when working with young women. Whether they’re struggling with school-related stress or struggling to process a breakup, I can quickly build rapport with folks in this demographic. My treatment plans include goals dedicated to helping people identify their triggers for emotional dysregulation. I believe in the importance of somatic and cognitive level wellness strategies and work to have my clients learn and implement both sets of skills. I have enjoyed working with a variety of diagnoses, including adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

My ideal client would be a high-functioning, motivated individual eager to attain self-understanding and self-awareness and willing to explore underlying schemas that impact thought and behavior. This client would be open to discussing and working through 'false-self' states and their relationship to early life experiences. This process would lead the client to the expression and development of 'true self 'experiences and enhanced authenticity. Their issues may be anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, poor confidence, and low self-efficacy due to distorted thinking within the core belief system and identity.
