Are you facing challenges or finding difficulty coping with life’s stressors? Well, I believe everyone has strengths and skills that can be used to make small or big changes in their lives. I believe that you have inside of you everything needed to be your authentic self, to be whole, to be happy and at peace. Let me help you to uncover your potential. I am a licensed clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the field of social work. This experience includes working with children, adults and families experiencing high levels of stress and crisis. Many of my clients are dealing with depression, anxiety and various social, emotional and mental health issues.
Depression and anxiety are the main issues I can help you to address. Once there is an understanding of what brought you to therapy, we will work together to develop a treatment plan, which addresses the current challenges, identifies the outcome you would like to see and develops strategies to address your concerns; moving into your future with peace of mind and feeling empowered.
My priority as your therapist is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I believe that my greatest strength as a provider is my ability to meet people where they are, with a level of respect and genuineness which allows them to feel safe and comfortable talking openly about what concerns them.
Have you ever asked yourself, why do I think the way I think, feel the way I feel or do the things I do? Well you are not alone, but if these feelings or thoughts are keeping you from moving forward, feeling joy or having healthy relationships there is help. Seeking therapy may be a difficult decision to make, but I applaud you for taking steps to enhance your mental health. I welcome the opportunity to assist you during this process!

Dorothy really listens and allows you the space to process. I was more than comfortable speaking to her about difficult topics.
