Have you wondered if Tele therapy can be helpful to you? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; nothing you tell me will shock or surprise me. I can help you work through your difficulties and also help you become your own therapist by learning how to better deal with challenges that come up in life. I work well with clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic, depression, relationship, eating and body image, and addiction issues. Clients often see reduction in symptoms and improved well being early on in therapy.

My therapeutic approach includes creating an environment where one can feel safe to freely express needs and desires without fear, shame or guilt. Often, a byproduct of this process is to become more comfortable and accepting of yourself. Clarity and confidence are newly discovered benefits of the therapy experience. My 25 years of experience provides me with the professional skills to assess and diagnose an individual. I set reachable goals and identify under-lying psychological barriers that can interfere with reaching your potential. My experience enables me to examine the complexities of unconscious habits.

I started my social work career working with children and families. This experience has helped to shape my work with clients and to understand how our experiences in our own families affect our lives. Since I have been in the field for over 30 years, I utilize both my analytic training (four years post masters) as well my roots as a social worker. I believe in enabling clients to work in the here and now to make good choices based on sound understanding of their motivations. My experience is wide ranging but working with clients who have depression and anxiety is a specialty as well as clients suffering from OCD. For the past 15 years I have worked with adult children of alcoholics as well as those in early recovery from a variety of addictions including drug, alcohol, smoking, gambling and shopping. I look forward to meeting with you and to encourage and support you on your journey of self discovery.
