LCSW, 26 years of experience
I am passionate about helping others. My area of expertise is working with adults experiencing issues with anxiety, depression and trauma. I have been in the field of Clinical Social Work for over 25 years. My goal is to assist you see things differently, help you have fulfilling relationships with others and yourself. I am a strong believer that seeking counseling is a step in the right direction. We can meet and embark in this journey of self fulfillment. Together we can work towards your self growth and to reach attainable goals.
During our first session, we will start with an introduction, then discuss your challenges and/or areas of difficulties that you are facing. We will generate a treatment plan to fit your goals and discuss grounding rules to maximize all your follow-up sessions.
Having the gift of active listening have been a tremendous gift in my practice. I take great pride in my ability to support my clients and to bring out their strengths. I concentrate on strengths to cultivate every clients ability to problem solve. I am here to support and to guide you through the process that involves your participation in therapy. My commitment to help others will be apparent during each session. To help you improve your coping skills and to help you find ways to enjoy your life. I hope that we can work together to reach all your goals: self fulfillment, have healthy relationships, and reach your life objectives.
I have an inclination to help my clients manage their stress while maintaining their motivation in a neutral platform. My clients are eager to improve, but do not have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their current situation.

She has given me so many useful tools and approaches and has helped me have confidence in the inner work I am doing. I feel cared for and seen. I have been able to keep at bringing myself away from harmful past events and into the now. She is such a blessing and has such a genuine kindness.
