How do you handle stress? Do you suffer from anxiety? Depression? Bereavement? Poor self-esteem? Parenting issues? Divorce issues? Bi-Polar? As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I can assist you in finding solutions by alleviating emotional pain, and empowering you with the capacity to resolve problems in a caring, safe, and trusted environment where your innermost thoughts can be expressed without fear of judgment.
My background, as a former guidance counselor and educator, has afforded me the opportunity to successfully work with families from diverse, cultural populations in a variety of situations. As a board member of NAtional Alliance on Mental Illness, I conduct trainings for the community on mental illness.
I specialize in working with individuals, parents, children and seniors. I incorporate an eclectic approach to counseling, utilizing such techniques as art, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, tools to alleviate anxiety and stress, and guided meditation.
