I am an LCSW-C therapist who works with adults and couples. Life has a way of presenting people with challenges that may cause you to want to seek counseling to help you navigate your way through life's ups and downs. Sometimes these challenges make us feel stuck and uncertain, whether it be relationship issues, divorce, intimacy, death of a loved one, loss of a job, grief, suicide survivor, identity crisis, family conflict, addiction, processing trauma, sexual orientation, communicating or relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc., or simply feeling like you are at a crossroads and not sure what to do next.
My practice is influenced by an eclectic approach, and I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and existential psychology. My clients describe me as an active, supportive, empathetic, and validating therapist and one who gently and steadily pushes for growth and change.
It is my desire and intention to create a safe space where you can share and reflect upon whatever it is that you are going through. Therapy can be hard and challenging, but it also can be rewarding as you gain self-awareness and deeper understanding of yourself and your life; past, present, and future. It is worth exploring.
