I've earned one of the first 'Addiction & Recovery specializations' offered through a Master's program in the country, & have been working in dual diagnosis rehabs for the past few years.
Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised self-esteem. Through talk therapy, a perception shift and changing the narrative we tell ourselves, I believe we are all capable of having the life we deserve. We don't have to be defined by our past, our fears or that negative self talk. My approach to therapy is one of complete honesty, directness and a little sarcasm/humor when appropriate. I believe we are all capable of having the life we want, getting out of our own way, and getting closer to our goals.

Rethink, Reframe, Realign, Recover. Do you feel as if your life is a sandcastle with the water always threatening to wash it out to sea?

In an open and safe environment, we explore authentic feelings and lost aspects of self often censored in general society, toward greater personal insight, growth, and change.

Is your self-doubt, anxiety, depression, or recent life change is holding you back from reaching your full potential in life? Do you want to make positive changes but don’t know where to start? Do you feel alone in your suffering? The good news is that you are not alone! Therapy ensures that we do not have to experience life's struggles on our own. I like to think of a therapist as a flashlight in a dark forest. While I may not be able to take you out of the forest itself, I will go through the experience with you, providing non-judgmental and compassionate guidance, support, and insight along the way.

As a proud Clinical Social Worker/Therapist (LCSW), my passion and specialization centers around trauma in relationships as a child and through adulthood. The heart of my work is in assisting with transforming old habits and voices that stem from trauma and hurt (substance abuse, disordered eating, self harm, externalized anger). My belief is that our past is always present and can lead to negative coping skills that we may not even be aware of. Together, my clients and I build a relationship in the room built on trust, empathy, compassion, and honesty that creates the space for change.

Maybe you've tried couples therapy before, maybe you have tried talking to friends and family, maybe you have read lots of self help books but nothing seems to be changing, have exhausted all resources and now are looking outside for someone to help you and your partner get back to the place where you feel on top of the world? It is one of the most painful places to be when you are in a relationship where you feel that you are not being heard or validated, like you and your partner just keep missing each other. Did you know that the average couple waits SIX years before they seek out professional help.

The main reason why couples seek counseling is due to a communication breakdown that begins to dismantle an otherwise healthy relationship. Our primary need is to be understood, but if partners are using different modes of communication, there can be a disconnect. DT can provide the jump-start to help find the excitement and communication that couples experienced at the beginning of a relationship, and the common ground that can build a stronger place from which to build trust. In learning more about the roles we play, DT offers partners the opportunity to gain greater insight about themselves and about their problems in relationships.
