I work with individuals ages 18 and up and my areas of practice include women’s health (including maternal mental health), anxiety disorders, depression, chronic health-related stress, grief, trauma, substance use disorders and life transitions.

It can be so difficult to seek out a therapist, and I understand you may have had negative experiences with therapy in the past. I appreciate the inner strength that allowed you to reach out and find this page. Together, we can explore patterns in your life to help illuminate your present and future.

I work with children from 3 to 18 as well as adults, couples and families with issues such as trauma histories, anxiety, depression, school issues, self-esteem issues, anger management, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, divorce issues, family conflict and parenting. My goal is to provide a safe space where children and adults can feel free to express themselves and in that process develop self-awareness and a skill set to improve relationships with themselves and with others. I do this in a non-judgmental, compassionate and caring way to promote healing and transformation.

ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR TELEHEALTH. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from Tulane University. I have been providing psychotherapy for nearly a decade. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and addictions. At the foundation of my work is the belief in the inherent goodness of others and the understanding that people are doing the best that they can with the tools that they have at their disposal. I employ the latest psychotherapeutic techniques that will allow us to build a strategy to create a happier you.

My ideal client is someone that is confused and/or disappointed in their relationships and the direction that their life is taking. Although they are aware of the part that their family, spouse, job and personal environment plays in their situation, they are willing to explore the part that they play in their difficulties. I consider motivation and a beginning level ability to communicate necessary if the work we do together has a chance to be successful.

Life tends to throw us curve balls. With all of our energy spent juggling obligations, responsibilities, and managing daily stresses, it's easy to wake up one day and realize that you just feel "stuck." Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, but it's the first step towards regaining control of your life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship difficulties, or just want a different perspective on whatever is holding you back, I'm here to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. Every person's situation is unique. I do not treat the therapeutic process as "one-size-fits all."

Thank you for considering me as you seek help. Please call or email to discuss your concerns and questions. I value helping people live healthier, happier, more successful and more contented lives. I have helped many people with relationships, women's and men's issues, parenting, education, careers, life stage adjustments, medical or physical difficulties and other challenges, during 25+ years of experience providing individual, couple, family and group services. My outlook is fresh and holistic; I am trained in a variety of methods, tailoring my approach to each persons specific needs.

I incorporate creative activities and evidence-based methods into traditional "talk therapy" for a fun outside-the-box approach to treatment. Together, we will work toward your goals exploring thought patterns and new ways to cope with distress. I am a warm, relaxed, and supportive clinician. I have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and over 10 years of experience in the field. I have sought out specialized training in trauma, sexually exploited youth, eating disorders, addictions, and behaviorally challenging youth. I specialize in providing therapy and assessment services to adolescents and young adults, however work with individuals of all ages.

I'm here to help you grow and change on your passage through life! Sometimes people have challenges to start with like thinking differently, or a difficult family. We may have questions about whether we still fit into a social or religious group. Challenges are harder if depression or anxiety hold us back or if we feel like we're stuck. Finding an empathetic, experienced therapist can be a connection to taking you out of isolation and uncovering your innate ability to change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have done my own work to grow and I look forward to helping you!

Do you have the same conflict with your spouse or another family member over and over? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Are you going through life change? Are you working towards a life goal? Are you looking for help to change your relationship pattern? Would you like to improve your communication & relationships? I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals of many ages, ethnicities, & varied backgrounds. I see the world through an attachment and trauma-informed lens. I believe that every person's life makes sense when you hear their story. I believe change is possible with compassionate support.

Taking the first step in identifying ways in which you would like to feel differently or aspects of behavior you'd like to change can be difficult. As a trauma-informed licensed professional counselor, I have found that one of the most important components of the therapeutic relationship is creating a nonjudgmental, safe environment that allows for growth and healing to transpire. We are a team that will work together in overcoming challenges you are experiencing and work towards changes you would like to make.
