Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

I have been a social worker for over 22 years. I spent 17 of those years in a large high school setting. During my time working with adolescents and their families, I witnessed how debilitating mental health issues such as OCD, panic disorders, and phobias were for the child as well as the entire family unit. Part of my job was to refer students to outpatient therapy, but it was difficult to find therapists who specialized in the treatment of these diagnoses. This is why I have spent an extensive amount of time getting trained in research based therapies that are proven to treat OCD and other anxiety disorders.

I have had the pleasure of working in this field for more than 35 years and have found that no problem is too big, peace is a position of power, and change is another word for refine/revise/adapt. My favorite quote is: "You have to fall in love with your life." Counseling is a way to learn the barriers to doing this, the tools and techniques for doing so, and shifts in beliefs needed to attain the trickle down effect from this. Clients with whom I work often are seeking shifts in their life/spiritual view, focus, behaviors and coping skills.
