When searching for a therapist I’m sure there are countless thoughts going through your head and you aren’t sure where to start. Let’s start with an introduction, I’m a licensed social worker (LSW) with over eight years of experience. The day to day hustle, struggle and grind of most individuals brings up a lot of anxiety, stress, depression and unhealthy coping tools. Most times individuals are so busy working, surviving and trying to hold it all together that they don’t realize they are drowning. Society drives the narrative that we just have to “push through”. I am here to work with you to change your narrative

I have been providing psychotherapy for the past 32 years to individuals and couples. I address the hurt, sadness, anger, anxiety and depression you feel and the loss of emotional contact in your important relationships. Sometimes painful loss arises from traumatic shock, and sometimes from the non-traumatic experiences of growing up. I can help you identify your needs and relieve your confusion about what is important, so that you can repair your connection with those you love. Healing is in the therapeutic relationship and the skills I can teach you that can enable you to live a freer life.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to know how to make things "feel better." I work with teenagers and adults to help them build coping skills, better manage emotions, and improve relationships. Each client is different and therefore there is no "one size fits all" approach. I will meet you where you feel comfortable and work with you to achieve your goals at your pace. It can be hard to imagine that things will improve when we're going through hard times, but I believe progress is possible for all of my clients.

If you feel stuck, anxious, or held back by the past - you’re not alone. Childhood trauma, difficult experiences, and unsupportive environments shape who we become as adults. Our pain points and inner conflicts often stem from wounds that never fully healed. Lasting change starts with self-awareness and understanding the root causes holding you back. Traditional talk therapy focuses mainly on the mind, but we know that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. Our approach recognizes this connection.
