You are invited to create the life you desire and deserve! Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling powerless to coping with life? Please know these feelings are present to warn that your attention is needed. I am an LISW, Licensed Independent Social Worker, with over 15 years experience providing clinically sound, creative, and holistic therapy services. I will partner with you in a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental setting that promotes growth and change. Happiness is something we all talk about and want dearly. The road to happiness is through being authentic, setting boundaries with yourself and others, and taking care of you. Getting the help you need is a form of Self Care. Let me help you find happiness!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will ask questions to help me know you, to develop a therapeutic relationship with you and to help you feel safe and comfortable. I will ask if you have any questions for me. I will hope you are able to make a connection with me and will ask if that has been achieved. Then, we will discuss those issues that have led you to therapy and how I can help with evidenced-based therapy models. I will fully explain those models of therapy, how I believe they can be helpful, and you choose one that resonates with you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am empathic, understanding, non-judgemental, and will work with you in a collaborative partnership, not as an authoritarian. My goal is to help you help you! This work is my passion- let me walk with you on this path when life gets tough!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) challenges our irrational, negative, thinking process that causes anxiety and depression. Essentially, when we change our thoughts, our moods and behaviors change too. A client recently said “CBT is my life.”
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness- based Therapy teaches and promotes living in the moment and appreciating those moments. It prevents regret about our past mistakes and fears…False Evidence Appearing Real… about the future, which is not always what we plan.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT stops your inner struggle with inner emotions and instead, allows you to accept these deeper feelings yet does not prevent you from moving forward in life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFT encourages focus on goals rather than the problem. We tend to look for problems in order to protect ourselves. SFT promotes solving those problems to enhance mood and feel a sense of accomplishment.
