Navigating through the human experience can be difficult and overwhelming at times. Deciding to seek guidance in times of struggle may seem daunting; however, my goal as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker is to walk alongside you on your journey.

When you're feeling overwhelmed and tired from endless worrying or obsessive thought cycles, you find yourself avoiding more, overthinking more, and trying to prevent or predict anything that can go wrong. People tell you to "just relax" or that "there's nothing to worry about", but if it were that easy, you would have already done that. You begin to feel depressed, miserable, and stuck. It seems like you’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long.

Do you feel connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life? Do you have the mental space to be mindful? My work focuses on connection: to yourself & everything around you. Therapeutic transformation happens when the mind, body, and spirit are energetically synchronized. Developing healthy self-awareness is one of the most important steps in healing. I teach my clients to do this by bringing to the surface and working with parts of the self that have been repressed, rejected, judged, and/or hidden. I also work with people on understanding and managing their attachment styles & relationships.

Are you ready to explore these experiences and feelings and to make positive lifelong changes in the process? As your counselor, we can work together to get you where you want to be in life. My focus is on anxiety (generalized, social, panic) depression (major, persistent), and trauma (early childhood, physical/sexual abuse, grief, acute, chronic, complex, PTSD).

As an EMDR therapist, I use EMDR to work with clients who have experienced trauma. I sometimes use DBT with clients who struggle with emotion regulation and for whom EMDR is not a good fit. I assist many clients who struggle in their relationships with unhealthy, narcissistic, or addicted partners. I also assist clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, and depression. I am an Attachment theorist and feel it is beneficial to incorporate one's childhood into the therapeutic process (though it may or may not be the focus of treatment).

I work with individuals suffering from anger, depression, anxiety, shame, addiction, low self-esteem and couples that want to replace the toxins in their relationship with love and caring values.

I work primarily with issues of depression, anxiety, child abuse, neglect, grief, and trauma. Helping someone through difficult issues is a collaboration between therapist and client. It takes courage to show up for therapy and trust someone to help! I practiced and taught meditation as a means for recovering from trauma for 30 years before becoming a therapist. Meditation develops a stronger, calmer mind, but doesn't completely clear psychological issues, unless you've the luxury of years of intense practice. For faster results than talk therapy or meditation alone, I integrate them to build self-awareness and stability.
