"Many times, we feel lost, stuck and helpless when we struggle to find solutions to our everyday problems. It is at this point that our problems can become obstacles that block us from living the best days of our lives. However, psychotherapy can help us to overcome these obstacles by helping us to cope better with our emotions and thoughts, gain insight into our problems, make desirable changes, communicate effectively, find possible solutions, and stop engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors that may contribute to our problems. "

"As a licensed clinical social worker with 25+ years of experience, I provide a warm, yet focused and practical therapy environment tailored to each client's needs.

"How many of us wake up each morning with a calm center, a sense of purpose, zest for life, satisfaction with ourselves and our relationships, & the clear sense that we're contributing to life in meaningful ways?

"This is a new life. I am a different, stronger me. I have my joy, my spirit back." This kind of client feedback brings me great joy!"

"Essential CTS clinicians and coaches are committed to helping young people overcome obstacles and move forward with their lives with clarity, vision and confidence. Because we recognize the fact that the traditional talk therapy experience is not always the most effective method of treatment for every person, we offer a wide array of other more experiential services to increase skill building and techniques learned in 1:1 sessions. Although we offer ABA services, our primary work utilizes DBT, social confidence skill building, life skills training and social improvisation. "

Recent training has included Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). As an adopted biracial African American, I take special interest in multicultural and adoption circumstances and in situations in which identity formation and understanding are essential."

"Good therapy does not come from a treatment manual. It arises out of a trusting relationship with an experienced therapist who is authentic, curious, and open minded. I am serious and thoughtful, yet also warm, human, and able to use humor. I've been a therapist for 25 years and still deeply enjoy the challenge and gratification of getting to truly know my clients. I believe that being understood and supported in therapy is necessary, but not sufficient. Real growth and change often require compassionately confronting uncomfortable parts of ourselves. I can help with that."
