Welcome to my profile :) Are you burned out from experiencing the same cycles and patterns in life? Are you searching for peace, joy, and fulfillment in life?

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** ***I am also credentialed to do video therapy*** For more info check out my website and media interviews. I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

My work is geared to helping you discover the person that you want to become. Often, we get focused on life’s stresses, sometimes forgetting to just BREATHE. Allow me to be the life support that you never knew you needed. For 10-plus years, I have worked with individuals suffering from ADHD, depression, anxiety and a multitude of other mental challenges, all at varying degrees.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working with children 9+, teens, adults, couples and families.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people and have a broad base of therapy knowledge including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Trauma Focused) , Solution Focused, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness.
