I have doctoral training in Clinical Social Work. I provide therapy, counseling, and support that is client-focused and family-centered. I am a certified mental health trainer.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor that specializes in working with adults (age 20 to 80). My experience is with individuals seeking assistance with anger management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and other challenges. I have immediate appointments for consultations.

You are not alone. Most people at some time in their life could benefit from seeing a professional therapist to help them through a difficult and stressful time. Therapy is often the last resort and people are naturally anxious talking about their difficulties with a stranger. To ease the process, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and caring environment to help you find your way through whatever is troubling you. I have recently expanded my practice to working with Senior Adults to address concerns unique to this age group. I work with caregivers as well - providing emotional support, education, and linkages to community resources.

You’re doing the best you can do; it doesn’t seem to be enough. Sometimes you need extra support and guidance to meet the life’s challenges. During our sessions we collaborate to find the questions and answers to your concerns through a lens of self-compassion and self-acceptance. Taking a non-judgmental approach to psychotherapy, we explore your feelings, emotions, and thoughts. As you take this journey, you may find unhealthy patterns that influence your choices and actions. These can undermine your self-esteem and serenity.

I like to help others heal from suffering, whether it be understanding and managing emotions, processing trauma, reducing negative thinking patterns, getting unstuck, changing habits, letting go, achieving personal goals, communicating / relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc. I take a holistic approach in my work and integrate talk therapy, mind-body skills (breathing, relaxation, yoga nidra, qigong, etc.), and healthy food/sleep/movement practices. My therapy style is warm, thoughtful, attuned, open, strengths-based, collaborative. I enjoy working with people of all ethnicities and orientations.

Is the current climate of chaos and confusion driving you crazy? Are you fed up with the racial injustices in our country? Has Coronavirus left you feeling isolated or depressed? If so, I can help! With my passion, cross-cultural competency, and holistic approach, I CAN help you to address the trauma and vicarious trauma you may have experienced from deaths, post-traumatic stress disorder-PTSD, violence, police brutality, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other mental health challenges. Men and women clients express their gratitude for my non-judgmental, practical approach & my wisdom-from-experience.

I am a psychiatric medication management provider. I do take insurance. Due to Covid, however, some people have lost their jobs and insurance, or are dealing with part time which does not offer health insurance benefits. Keeping up with appointments is difficult. If you need to see a psychiatric medication management provider and need to pay cash, please do not hesitate to contact me. Cash fees will be $100 for a 40 minute initial appointment. If you are stable on your medication, follow up appointments will be $60 per quarterly visit. Weekly or Biweekly appointments are $20. Now taking appointments for January 2021. Please call.

Is there something holding you back from the experience of feeling fully alive, safe, and satisfied in your own life; in your own skin? Experiencing internal and external difficulties long enough and under enough stress, we become disconnected to what makes life worth living. I believe my job is to provide a safe space and be a supportive, caring, non-judgmental presence as a guide and collaborator. Together we can face what is hurting or not helping you. I have worked over the years in a variety of settings with adults, children, teens, families and couples from diverse backgrounds and identities.

I believe that each person possesses an innate ability to heal. I consider it a privilege to work with my clients while they face transforming challenges. In my work, I customize my approach to each person, emphasizing individual strengths. My practice is holistic and I bring knowledge of alternative therapies, philosophical and spiritual approaches. With an emphasis on wellness and stress reduction, a client can achieve calm in order to focus on the problems at hand. I specialize in trauma, abuse and relationship issues, utilizing a blend of treatment approaches. I am trained in EMDR, mindfulness meditation and visualization techniques.

It is normal to be an imperfect being. Everyone has struggles, low moments, or even sometimes have to divert off course due to unexpected life events. But when its your own thoughts and feelings that are impeding your ability to achieve what you define as "satisfaction" in life- you must take the time to stop, reflect, and possibly change either your approach or alter your perspective. Feel free to book a consultation. However, you do not have to engage a consultation to schedule an in person session. https://www.timetrade.com/book/3FLKG

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Do you want to explore yourself in a deeper way? Through therapy, I will help you identify patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work with you towards making meaningful changes. By learning to respond to your thoughts and feelings in a new way, you will experience less suffering. We will also focus on how your emotions are experienced within the body, as these felt sensations are often overlooked sources of useful information.

Often we find ourselves overwhelmed by the stress of life. We are challenged by the need to manage anger or cope with depression. Confusion about identifying personal and professional goals may lead to feelings of anxiety and inadequacy. Through therapy one can explore the possible impact of early life relationships, and experiences upon current day struggles. Therapy affords one the chance to recognize what is important and brings us to the self-awareness of the resources we have within to manage feelings and change interfering behaviors.

Sometimes life just gets you down! It can be from stress in a relationship or from raising children, unequal work-life balance or the result of a traumatic event.
