Partnering with you to improve the quality of your life: that is my goal as your therapist. I'm here to encourage, support, empower, and listen. During our first session we will determine your goals for therapy and what changes you want to make to improve your life. To best help you, I use an integrative technique, designed to meet you where are ready to start, and sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. One of the most important therapeutic factors, according to research and my own experience, is finding the right fit with your therapist.

Facing the stressors of daily life activities can be daunting in the best of circumstances.

*My practice is currently full.* My practice is based on the philosophy that wellness is an ongoing process of growth that includes learning to cope with life challenges, while also recognizing life triumphs. The therapeutic process is an excellent tool for increasing coping skills during life transitions as well as in your overall wellness regimen. I view my role as a therapist as a guide to assist during these times. I have over fourteen years of experience working with individuals and couples on a variety of concerns including: building better relationships, anxiety, depression, family conflict and trauma.

We all may experience everyday challenges in personal relationships, employment, and life transitions, resulting in stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and other symptoms preventing us from living a more fulfilling and meaningful life, Part of it is that we are not aligned and instead we are stuck repeating patterns and holding to negative perceptions about ourselves and the world, I work under the premise that each individual has the capacity to reclaim themself by ADAPTING, TRANSFORMING, and FINDING BALANCE in life.

I believe in the healing potential of therapy. I respect the sanctity of the therapeutic partnership and find it an extraordinary privilege to play a collaborative role in the healing process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents and their families. I have worked with a wide range of ages and stages of development, including very young children and young adults. My approach to working with children involves focusing on strengths, building on interpersonal relationships, developing social skills and involving family members throughout the process. I work closely with the children and their caregivers to identify the challenges, develop goals that meet the needs of the child as well as the family and that are built around the families’ priorities.

Difficulties in reaching personal and relational life goals are frustrating and often leave us feeling defeated. These experiences may lead to depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, and unanswered questions about how to make the changes necessary to improve the quality of our lives.

Self compassion and self care are essential for growth. Having a sense of purpose in life brings joy. I use techniques from positive psychology and motivational interviewing and value looking at the cup as half full rather then half empty.

I believe that psychotherapy is a process in which an individual can grow and address difficult emotions and/or experiences in a safe environment.

*Not currently accepting new clients* I understand that self-care, healthy interventions, and emotional support are essential factors in the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are focused on assisting clients in helping them manage the emotions they experience in their daily lives through a person-centered approach.

It is understood that each person's needs are different and an eclectic approach is used to assist each person in meeting their goals and creating change.
