Mental health care is a part of chronic healthcare and asking for help can be the hardest place to start. Mental health is a struggle that we all deal with in our own way, sometimes we need guidance and encouragement. I believe a therapist's role is to support individuals in their efforts to cope and adapt on their own. Through the journey of therapy, I want to be someone who can point out patterns that may be hindering you from reaching your fullest potential.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in the areas of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic disease, and life transitions including transitions to college, changing jobs, a new medical diagnosis or other life transitions. Currently, I have an ongoing group addressing social isolation and boundary setting that meets virtually. At this time, I am not accepting individuals with Medicare insurance.

Have you found yourself struggling with being present in your relationships? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions? Perhaps you’re easily frustrated or sadden with your interactions with others? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to push through…or maybe you are frustrated with “pushing through” and feel a significant feeling of tiredness. These are some of the few things I have assisted patients with. I believe I am the right therapist for you if you are seeking a safe, supportive space, in which you can address issues that may be preventing you from achieving your desired healing and growth.

With over 27 years of experience, I help individuals overcome depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-worth, and life's complex challenges. I understand that seeking support can feel daunting, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for you to share your story. Using proven techniques, I'll assist you toward new ways of thinking and acting, freeing you from limiting thought and behavioral patterns.

Do you find yourself wondering if there are ways to live a healthier life? Have healthier relationships? Looking for balance and support in using more positive coping skills on a daily basis?

I use a positive, strength-based, whole person approach to help clients through their life journey while feeling honored to walk the walk with them.

We believe emotional wellness matters (a lot), and that everyone has the right to make it a priority. Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. So many questions can get in the way. Maybe you’ve even asked them yourself: Is this normal? Can talking to someone really help me? What is therapy all about, anyway? What would people say if they knew I was going? How do I find the right therapist? Will I be comfortable there? When will I find the time? Will my insurance pay for this? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. And we can help.

My practice provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients may discuss any personal challenges with the confidence that they are legitimate, heard, and respected.

I have significant experience facilitating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for adults living with personality disorders as well as adolescents struggling with mood disorders and self-harm behaviors. I enjoy working with adolescents to effectively manage depression and anxiety symptoms, irritability, reactivity, relational stressors, communication issues, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues. I also like teaching skills and strategies to their parents and caregivers to they can feel resourced when supporting their young loved one outside of therapy.

I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

You are facing some challenges in your life like trauma, mood disorders, chronic health or pain issues, perhaps with co-occurring diagnoses of mental health & addiction. You might be struggling in your relationships as a spouse, partner or parent. You need a collaborative partnership with a trauma-informed therapist who will customize their approach towards your care, work with you to understand your needs, recognize your strengths and learn to address your challenges. You are looking for a therapist who is responsive to your culture, sexuality & uniqueness. You could work with the therapist as an individual, a couple or a family.
