Waitlist for new clients
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, adjustment issues, and recovery from trauma.
Connection is healing, and change happens when trust exists. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and respect. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, and my therapeutic approach is strength-based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches while incorporating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused techniques. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I have a background in working with children, adolescents and adults who are dealing with ADHD, anger management, attachment disorder, mood disorder, anxiety, depression, as well as various other mental health needs.
I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with various emotional and mental health needs. My career began working with at-risk youth suffering from severe emotional disturbances. I later began working with children and families within their homes to secure a healthy balance of support and resources, while enhancing their sense of self. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. I am open to networking with any provider (i.e., teachers, primary care physicians, psychiatrists,etc.) that are involved in one's care. I believe in helping individuals identify their strengths and incorporating these strengths into their daily lives.

Are you feeling consumed by worry and anxiety? Do you feel that some days you struggle to complete basic tasks? Are you finding that you doubt yourself and your choices? You are doing your best to survive, coping in ways you’ve learned due to your environment and past experiences. Although you realize these reactions or behaviors cause more pain, you are simply doing the best you can. Relationships around you, both personal and professional, feel the pressure and you are ready to explore change. I have years of experience supporting Mental Health and Addiction. Change is possible and healing DOES come.

My practice is based on presumption that mind can create dysfunctional, disruptive and destructive functioning patterns, but it also has an enormous potential for healing from those patterns by recognizing, resolving, modifying and integrating them. Toward that end, I use therapeutic approaches where the therapy itself is "held" by strong alliance and trust in process, that as it deepens, allows for access and application of client's unique conscious and unconscious healing potentials. The therapy is effective with depressed and/or anxious individuals, couples with problems, as well as individuals with unresolved traumas or PTSD.

After 27 years as a high school teacher, I followed my long-held interest and returned to school to become a licensed social worker (LMSW) and a substance abuse counselor (CASAC.) I work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD and I also work with couples. I primarily use CBT, ACT and DBT. Data shows that most people who experience substance use disorders also meet the criteria for a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (70-80%), or some form of trauma (50%.) Treating substance abuse means treating the whole person.
