We all experience distressing emotions and are faced with challenging times in our lives. Sometimes additional support is needed because these experiences can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences can feel uncomfortable. This is why it is so important to me to provide a safe and caring environment for clients to feel understood and respected. It is my primary goal to build trust and provide support to my clients.

It is of my personal belief that within most of us lies the resources to live a happy life. Unfortunately, things such as trauma, environmental stressors, or a lack of skills can get in the way of our ability to access these resources. Think of the last time you felt an overwhelming sense of peace, whether that be while soaking in a beautiful scenery, or watching children play. This "peace," or what I call "True Self," is within all of us.

I have been a clinical social worker for over 40 years. My training has taken me from psychoanalytic training to the more recent trends of mindfulness.
My passion has always been to help clients reach their optimum potential---to unlock the courage to resolve their conflicts.
As I work with families that have been involved in high conflict divorce, I strive to bring balance as the families adjust to their new configuration.

***WAIT LIST AT THIS TIME*** I work with a variety of clients from all walks of life. People attend counseling for many reasons, but most of them stem either from difficulties in relationship with others or with self and from some of the "givens" in life, including: death, isolation, lack of meaning, freedom, and responsibility. Those who seek counseling services want to feel happy, live more in line with how they view their world, and/or get along better in their significant relationships.

I work collaboratively with parents/caregivers, teachers and school counselors to ensure all individuals in the child's life have the opportunity to address their concerns.

I feel passionate about working with individuals who are longing to find or reconnect with a sense of Self. Somehow life isn't working; something's "off." Whether searching for identity while transitioning to independence; wanting to rediscover who we are after caring for others; riding the roller coaster of grieving a death, divorce or another major life event to surviving abusive and/or confusing relationship(s), we all experience pain and confusion at times. Counseling can help open awareness to new and healthier ways to respond to life's challenges and hopefully thrive.

We all come to crossroads in life where we are uncertain of what to do. Painful events happen and it can become difficult to stay present in our lives. I offer a safe place to explore the thoughts feelings and experiences you may be struggling with today- while finding ways collaboratively that encourages healthy living and promotes self compassion and positive growth. I believe change can happen when we are able to build self awareness, become more present, lean into acceptance, and set healthy boundaries. As we learn to foster self love and self compassion processing our pain eases and authentic living begins.

I like to have a conversation. The idea of counseling and being “in therapy” can be overwhelming. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable in this way can seem like too great an undertaking. First is a conversation. We start here to learn which therapeutic approach works best for you. The treatment methods and techniques are varied depending on the client’s needs and goals. My goal is to help each client identify what is most impacting and affecting their well-being, and helping to find correlating themes in stressors that may initially seem unrelated but taxing.
