I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that whole heartedly believes in my professional ethic of the right to self determination. I believe we should all strive to live the life that suits us as individuals. I have spent years in the entertainment industry first as a performer then behind the scenes. I have worked with multiple artists and creative types and I really enjoy thinking outside of the box. I enjoy the outsiders, the rebels, the straight shooters. I am a working mother and I have experienced my share of heartache.

We were never taught how to be in a relationship. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. If you want to be in a relationship that last 50 yrs then communication and empathy has to be at the core of a successful partnership. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers. Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms. I am here to help beit coping strategies for anxiety and depression symptoms or learning how to communicate more effectively with others.
