Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to cope in today's world. Seeking support is the first step on a heaing journey. For over 25 years I've worked with clients who have been experiencing a variety of challenges. Most have underlying trauma expressing itself in a multitude of ways; anxiety , depression, body image, substance abuse, & self harm. Many have experienced loss, grief and have difficulty transitioning to a new stage in life. Trauma and loss have increased in our current world. As a response, I've expanded my client base to address the myriad losses, and the resulting trauma many people are facing today.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 9 years, working with individuals and couples in a clinical setting, as well as private psychotherapy. I believe that every person can reach their potential, strive towards their goals, heal from their past and obtain happiness by learning how to be present in their lives; while learning how to be insightful about oneself and gain empowerment.

After an eleven-year career working with adolescents and young adults as a teacher and basketball coach, I made the conscious decision to apply those experiences towards the path of becoming a licensed social worker. Adolescence is, in many ways, messy. Continuing to delve into that messiness with clients seemed to be the most natural next step in my career. I believe that each person’s story is unique and worthy of being told, and I aim to support clients in making meaning of their stories as we work together.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process.

Isn’t this the worst?! Has something just happened and you feel like you’ve had enough and are going to try therapy? At some point in our lives we have all felt not good enough, not like ourselves or worried about the future or social situations. It can be really painful to go through your daily life feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.

It takes courage to reach out for help and take action to change your life. Selecting a therapist who is the best fit for your personality and situation is an important decision. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I counsel adults, couples, and adolescents. I use a strength-based approach to help my clients define and achieve their goals. One of my main interests is in working with couples to help them understand their needs as individuals and as partners and to communicate more effectively. I also work with individuals to make their lives more satisfying and rewarding. At this time, I am providing telehealth services.

I am a Mental Health Counselor and School Counselor with a passion for supporting tweens, adolescents, and young adults work through stressors. I use a combination of insight, humor, evidence based practices, and strength based counseling to promote a better understanding and tolerance of issues. I support my clients in developing coping skills and specialize in anxiety management and resilience building.

I believe that where we came from inevitably affects who we are, but does not need to define or constrain us in perpetuity. I want to understand where you’re coming from and where you want to go. My job is to listen, to try to understand how you see the world, and help you understand what patterns may hold you back. I am warm, humorous, thoughtful and patient. Our time together is yours and nothing is out of bounds. I hope to create a safe space where we can creatively look at your life and try to understand your concerns, doubts, fears and triumphs.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sadness, anger, or anxiety we experience. During these times we often feel uncertain and insecure. My goal is to help you find balance and to restore a sense of control and inner strength. I believe it is important to listen and to be supportive as well as to provide guidance as you explore where you have been, where you are and where you hope to go. I believe it is important for you to set realistic and reasonable expectations of yourself as well as others. And to develop the communication skills that will allow you to share your thoughts and feelings in healthy and appropriate ways.

Are you feeling stuck? Many people seek therapy when they are lacking energy or direction in some aspect of their life. Sometimes sadness won't leave. Or anxiety grows. Often past hurt and trauma interferes with daily life. Or it is difficult to negotiate one of life's transitions: finding or changing work life; partnering/marrying; moving/settling; separating/divorcing: birth; aging; illness and pain, or death of a loved one. Whatever the reason for seeking help we decide on the goals, charting a clear path for the journey to emotional health and greater satisfaction in life.

I provide trauma-focused individual and EMDR therapy to adolescents and adults (ages 16 an up) who struggle with anxiety , depression, panic , trust/abandonment issues, relationship problems including codependency/intimacy dysfunction, self esteem/identity issues and symptoms related to childhood trauma which can include: flashbacks, nightmares/night terrors, sleep distrubance, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli and hypervigilance.

Acknowledging that you or your child need support is the first step in the therapeutic process. Due to the complex nature of the relationships in your life, it is helpful have a neutral person to offer a listening ear, guidance, and insight through a tough time. My goal is to support you, your child, and/or your family in your process. I can help you in identifying and regulating emotions, stopping negative thoughts, overcoming challenges, strengthening relationships and utilizing healthy coping skills.

I believe the true pillars of continued success and growth are based on intention and relationships. If you're having trouble finding your "Why"? I am here to inspire simple changes that are a transformative guide on your journey to renewed health, restored relationships and a greater joy for living. The transition from "stuck" to "moving" is my passion. There is a powerful reciprocity between the mind and body connection. To meet each clients' unique needs, I enjoy using walks and hikes as a way to engage and communicate, and I always make humor and comfortability a priority. You are in control of the progress we make together.

In today's busy world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed trying to balance the demands of day-to- day life while also working towards finding balance of your inner world. The pressure to show up and perform daily responsibilities - work, school, parenting - when struggling with interpersonal issues, such as anxiety or relationship issues, can be isolating and it's sometimes hard to know where to even begin. As a therapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which we work together towards finding the strength to create the ideal balance and confidence in managing your everyday stress, anxieties, and navigating transitions.
