I’ve studied and practiced many methods. I like to be eclectic and work with you with what’s needed to get you back on track and feeling your best. I was a teacher for many years, then went for my masters in social work. Life has many twists and turns. Sometimes we can feel off balance or are suffering from depression or anxiety.

I like to be eclectic and work with you with what’s needed to get you back on track and feeling your best.

We’ve all had our ups and downs and getting back on track and feeling our best is a goal I enjoy helping people achieve to live the life they want. Are your coping skills no longer working? Do you need new ones? Maybe you have some unprocessed traumas that need to be processed so that you can move forward.

First session

The first session is very important to get to know each other and discuss your goals and how I’ll be able to help you. We’ll go over HIPAA regulations, confidentiality rules. I’d like to know what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. What areas of your life do you feel you’d like to improve?

Strengths

I’m a great listener and your cheer leader. I’ll be making sure that you are motivated to work on yourself. Please message me the day before if you know that you will be cancelling. Thanks.

Ideal clients

I’ve worked with various mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I’m here to help you work on your goals and feeling your best.

I will definitely be coming back to have sessions every week with this therapist because she is so wonderful and just down to earth and real. I don't need the clinical person that is just going to put a wall and not treat me as a human being. I felt very comfortable opening up about deep wounds with her. I cannot wait to continue my sessions with her.
