Realizing that you do not have to face this challenge alone is an important step towards growth and healing. With my experience as both a school social worker (15 years) and clinical social worker (1 year), I am uniquely qualified to support you on that journey.

Emotions are normal! The difference between feeling anxious or depressed lies in our interpretation of these emotions. I work with children, adolescents and adults for individual or couples counseling. I enjoy working with young people by helping them to understand emotions and what they mean.

Through this process my clients increase self-control and self-esteem. My goal is to reveal the strengths individuals posses even if the current life situation may feel overwhelming.
