I bring 21 years of pastoral counseling experience to my 15 years of clinical practice with adults, children, couples and families. My clinical and pastoral background gives me the opportunity to provide a gentle calming presence and a compassionate understanding to my work with individuals and families who struggle with managing life challenges related to anxiety, depression and resolving conflict. I also provide life coaching to help individuals navigate life transitions due to separation, divorce, loss and grief.
I am a dedicated professional who uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to enhance personal growth and self awareness. My approach is supportive and caring as I help individuals and families heal and thrive through learning effective relationship skills, mindfulness techniques and stress management strategies.
Wherever you are on your life journey, you are not alone. I will meet you there and help guide you to where you desire to be. Along with my MSW, LCSW, I hold an MA in Pastoral Counseling and a BA in Criminal Justice.
