I have some day time openings. Taking the first step in the journey of therapy takes courage. Life can be full of stress. The stress and anxiety is often more than we can deal with on our own. You're worried, tired, and feeling isolated. Your relationships aren't what you would like them to be. I provide acceptance, support, nurturance and hope for the future. I use a strength based approach. My goal is for therapy to be an inviting, calm and safe place where we can work together to create positive changes in your life resulting in healthy coping skills, peace, and improved relationships

As a clinical social worker, I have over 25 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and families in a variety of therapeutic settings. Creating a therapeutic environment that is warm, compassionate and nurturing is one of my strengths. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths and internal resources we already have so we can build skills for improved daily functioning, emotional health and fulfillment and positive change. My areas of special interest include adjustment to life changes, low self-esteem, stress management, relational concerns and emotional/mood disorders.

I understand that people seek out therapy often times looking for solutions to issues impacting their daily lives.

I have experience working with preteens, teens, young adults, and adults across the lifespan. I have a focus on mood disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, and self harming behaviors. I have an extensive background in methadone and working specifically with individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. I have worked in a wide range of settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, jails, crisis, and group homes. Working in these different settings has helped me to experience a wide range of challenges and issues that I have helped individuals to overcome.

I understand that it can be a very overwhelming task to find a therapist that you feel comfortable working with and opening up to about some of your most difficult life experiences. Now, you may be ready to start trying to overcome them and it is very important to find someone who makes you feel at ease and welcome as you start and continue the therapeutic process.

Many find themselves at a point where outside support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. Clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as depression or anxiety, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as entering a new relationship or starting a new job, can be stressful. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which we address these challenges in a safe environment by processing events from the past, exploring current patterns of thinking and behavior, and creating plans for change in the future.

As a Certified EMDR Therapist I specialize in trauma, performance enhancement and anxiety/depression. I work with adults and adolescents to facilitate personal growth and achieve substantive change in their lives. Negative cognitions, unhealthy beliefs and emotions can be linked to unresolved disturbing/traumatic experiences from ones past. The remnants of these experiences can lead to low self-esteem, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. I assist clients to cultivate greater self-awareness while reprocessing the past disturbances in a way that enhances self-confidence, personal performance and interpersonal relationships.

Being a LMFT means to me that the focus of treatment is to improve relationships. I believe the most important relationship in a persons life is the relationship they have with themselves. In my experience people often treat others much better than they treat themselves. I enjoy going on a therapeutic journey with people to help find themselves, to find that compassion that they give to others and to learn that they too deserve that same love and compassion. I like to use art as a way of expression (when needed) with my clients because I believe that art can communicate what words sometimes cannot.
