Have your thoughts dictated your life in a negative way? Do you feel misunderstood? Do you want to feel content and at peace? Many of us feel that way in so many aspects of our life including work/life balance, family issues, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, etc. leading us to develop symptoms of depression and anxiety. We feel as though we need to have control in our lives, fearing the unknown. We strive to be perfect, feel validated, needing love. We cannot have full control of our lives, yet, with the mind, body, and soul, we can navigate the unknown by learning healthy coping skills such as journaling, mediation, & self talk.

I have always loved amusement park rides! Like life, they can be exciting and fun, sometimes like a roller coaster ride it can be scary – or it can be like a Ferris wheel or merry go round, going around in circles with nothing much changing as we go around and around experiencing the same things over and over. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 20 years of experience, I can assure you that life, like an amusement park, can be fun and exciting, or boring and repetitive – and most importantly, the choice is yours.

I know what it's like to feel backed into a corner and how helpful it can be to have that extra support. Finding a therapist can be similar to finding the right school, the right shoes, or the right couch for your new apartment; sometimes it’s a fit right away and other times it’s a process. As someone who has spent time therapist shopping myself, I emphasize the importance of working together to help people find the therapist that fits for them. I work with individuals to create the most comfortable fit in our work together, using a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy and viewing the therapeutic process as a team effort.

25 yrs. of experience. My prof. philosophy centers on change and the human capacity for personal growth. Humans have the innate ability to reason and respond to life: "Life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react to it." As a therapist, my responsibility is to help maximize the 90% factor. As we work together, we will develop ways to explore your life events and seek strategies for change. Sometimes the 10% factors of life can keep us from reaching our goals or potential. It is at this point, when a professional therapist can help. "Change your habits....Change your life."
