Do you feel like you are searching? Searching for the reasons why you are unhappy in your relationships or lack of relationships? Searching for the reasons why you are unhappy in your career? Searching for the reasons you feel run down and uninspired? Searching for the reasons why you keep repeating the same addictive patterns that do not turn out to have positive outcomes? Searching for the right therapist!?
I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience. My practice includes individuals and couples suffering from trauma, relationship problems, addiction, depression, grief and loss, anxiety and stress. I would like to help you discover what you are searching for and why you feel you do not deserve more out of life.
My approach blends person-centered therapy, EMDR, and practical tools tailored to your goals. You'll find sessions to be warm, direct, and grounded in emotional safety. I work exclusively online, offering convenience, privacy and flexibility.
