“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ Therapist, I can help you overcome stress, anxiety and depression by helping you change negative and unhelpful thinking patterns, self-destructive behaviors, unhealthy habits, accept uncomfortable feelings , improve your relationships, and work through issues difficult to manage alone.

I understand that clients are experts in their own lives, but sometimes they need help with unwanted thoughts, symptoms, or behaviors. Reaching out for help can be difficult for all kinds of reasons. I want to reassure you with words from Brené Brown “We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to." I want to help you work on becoming the best version of yourself. Loneliness, social anxiety, and just dealing with a constantly changing world can sometimes make anyone feel out of control. I want to help give you back that feeling of being in control of your life.

Life can be hard and sometimes extremely painful. Finding a place to go and someone to help could feel overwhelming. I want to know who you are and how I can help. I am trained in several theoretical models that guide my practice, however your struggle is personal and my approach will be tailored to your unique pain.
