I look at counseling as a journey. I hope to create an environment that is comfortable, open, and honest. My goal is to work with you to identify areas of concern and stress in your life and problem solve to find ways to improve that quality of your life and relationships. I work with teens and adults ages 14 and above, and have practiced social work for the past 14 years.
I am committed to providing the most positive experience that can be created for you through a relationship of mutual respect and honesty in a judgement-free atmosphere. Having utilized a variety of methods over the years, we will customize a way of working that fits you best.
Please call or email me to set up a free 15 min consultation to see if we would be a good fit. I currently offer weekdays and some weeknight hours.

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety or depression due to relationships or family issues. During the first few sessions, we'll dive into the issues you are most concerned about and collaborate on a plan with goals to help get you back on track. Many clients experience small improvements within the first month of therapy and sizable improvements down the road.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In our first few sessions, we'll get to know each other and come up with a plan on how to address your biggest concerns. Moving forward, we typically do a combination of coping skills, communication skills, and interpersonal effectiveness, depending on your individual needs.
