Meet Our Clinicians

Therapy is about where you are and where you want to go. It is about acceptance of your values and the goals that you seek. Therapy doesn't have to be a long painful journey. Resolving conflicts, getting over issues, or addressing unwanted feelings should be a positive quest. I believe in short term therapy which has been successful with my Adult and Adolescent clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and other symptoms. Life Coaching-Therapy can help uncover the patterns of feelings, thoughts or patterns of behavior that have interfered with our goals.

I graduated with a Masters in Psychology and have 4 years post masters training in marriage and family therapy and have been trained in EMDR. My approach is guided by you and your needs.

I am a person first and therapist second. Working on problems is serious but I feel having a little humor and focusing on strengths can make the process more normal. I have the wisdom and experience with a youthful spirit which allows me to relate to all ages. If I can't help you I know someone who can. I am connected to a group of talented therapists.

Nothing nourishes potential and self-confidence as unconditional love.

So then, the most important person to extend unconditional love to is oneself.

Greetings! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who enjoys meeting people of all ages. Every person is different; their life experiences are different and their needs and goals are different. What works for one person will not work for another. I use an eclectic approach that allows me to treat each individual according to their own unique needs and wants.

Life is filled with ups and downs and our life experiences make us into who we are. If we’re trying to learn how to make better choices, it helps to look at decisions we’ve made in the past. How did those experiences, even the ones from childhood, affect us? Examining those things can make a big difference in how we move forward.

Many times, it’s the intrusive thoughts – the ‘what ifs’ that darken our days. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, or relationship problems, I want to encourage you that there is hope for a brighter path ahead.

One, true fact is that none of us are islands unto ourselves. We need human connection, we need contact, we need each other. Without each other, we often feel lost, like we’re battling the world by ourselves! If your background is one of confusion and chaos, do not despair! Even if your world isn’t confused and chaotic, don’t put yourself down! You are worthy of connection! You are worthy of respect, healing, and happiness! Life is a journey, not a destination, and you are worthy of a good and fulfilling journey!

Whether you are somewhere in the middle of life, nearer the end or closer to the beginning, I would like to work with you. How can I help you?
