Things have happened in the past that still linger. Hypervigilance, mistrust and feeling unsafe has become part of your core being and if feels unsettling.

Hello! I am a doctorate level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with people of all ages with a variety of issues and concerns. I named my practice Vantage Point Counseling because a vantage point is a place or position affording a good view of something. My goal is to help you do just that: I want to help you achieve wellness and enhance your ability to cope, overcome barriers or past experiences, and experience the change you're looking for.

There is value in knowing we are seen, heard, and understood. In addition to treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma, I specialize in grief. Many times, we believe we are stuck, or that there is something abnormal about how long it is taking us to feel “better”. I understand that loss can be an isolating experience. Whether dealing with the death of a family member, friend, or beloved pet, or going through divorce, a cancer diagnosis, unexpected job loss, or an empty nest, how we process and adjust to an altered way of living are specific and unique to each person.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma Based-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TB-CBT) to counsel children/adolescents adults, families, and couples working with diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, stress, trauma/abuse (physical and sexual), domestic violence, grief /loss, relationship difficulties, and parenting/family concerns. I provide parenting training, mental health and substance abuse treatment. If personal challenges at home, at school, or at work are getting out of hand, or if your child is struggling with concentration, discipline, rebelliousness, I can help you!

Every day we make choices, big and small. In doing so, we create our ever-unfolding life story. I work with my clients to better understand what their unique "storyline" has been about; how their "script" originally got written; and how their present life challenges can be opportunities for discovering hidden strengths. These strengths are very important, as they will serve my clients in their next life chapter.
