When you are hijacked, by cravings, rages, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, fear or regret, modern tools of self-regulation help you soften the disruption and return to your "better self" more quickly. When you are down, therapy helps you look up. When you feel agitated or fearful, helps you find ciourage. When you crave a substance or addictive behavior, therapy provides healthier tools for self-regulation, Through therapy and self-help, you will learn to replace old, limiting mental habits with more upbeat ones.

My ideal client wants something better, has no idea what "better" is or looks like, and has no idea where to start. They are still determining if they are ready to start or commit to that change. What they need is a person and a space to figure it out. Deep down, they know where they are right now can be better, whether in relationships, emotions, daily habits, major life goals, or anything in-between. But, most importantly, they want a space where they can process and grow from that place and build a sustainable life.

You're strong, but exhausted. You work hard to keep it all together so people view you as confident, capable and worthy. They don't know you're falling apart inside, feeling stuck, frustrated, unappreciated, stressed out, and sometimes even hopeless. You aren't feeling good enough, and you're not happy with the direction your life seems to be going in. The most important relationships in your life are strained, and you don't know what to do. You want change. You want to know what it's like to really ENJOY life. You can. Looking for a therapist is hard, but it's a step towards making a life-time investment in yourself and your life.

Everyone experiences overwhelming times in life. You have decided that this is your time to confront your struggles. This is the first step towards a healthier, happier you.

We will work together to define your personal challenges, overcome obstacles that are holding you back, and set goals to achieve the healthy life that you deserve.

Accepting New Clients. It is crucial to meet individuals where they are and help guide them to find what they need or are looking for in life. I work with adults and children 10 and older to help cope with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PANDAS, Autism, trauma, relationships, stress, life transitions, and parenting issues. The ultimate goal is to feel happy and fulfilled. I can also help with special education needs and school concerns, including attending school meetings.

As an experienced clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of persons struggling with substance use, chronic mental illness, and traumatic brain injury my interests include working with adults/young adults 16+ who struggle with anxiety, depression, complex/single incident trauma, relationships, self-esteem, shame/guilt, LGBT issues, etc. I embrace the opportunity to join my client on their journey while using my skills of active listening, empathy, and humor to help guide, but with the knowledge that each individual knows what fits best as well as their ability to steer in the direction of their goals.

I especially enjoy supporting young adults who may be in transition or seeking clarity on the impact of the past on their current lives. They may be struggling with symptoms of grief, loneliness, depression, anxiety, co-dependency, or just a sense that something is off. My ideal client may have a specific goal in mind or might have a desire to be heard.

My objective is to help you identify your strengths to enable better management of on-going difficulties and break free from a sense of "stuckness."

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987
