Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW

I try to live with the mentality that everyone has a story and experiences that explains why they are who they are and behave the way they do. It is my passion to hear these stories and to understand why people think the way they do. A major aspect of my work as a therapist is to simply be there to listen and help others sort through their own feelings and emotions. Life is challenging for many different reasons and I believe that therapy should be a place to lay these challenges, burdens, and barriers down in order to grow and change. I believe that life is about growing and through this growth we find peace and contentment
