Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or sad to a degree that you really can't live the life you want?

Are you frustrated by a relationship that doesn't make you happy? I can teach you to significantly reduce anxiety and depression and live a more balanced and fulfilling life! I am a licensed Certified Social Worker with over 20 years of experience to share with you!

My approach to therapy

Connecting with a sincere, supportive, EXPERIENCED therapist can guide you to making the changes in life that you want and need. I have had great success in treating individuals suffering from panic attacks, depression, anxiety, grief, marital/relationship discord, teenage issues/ anxiety and have guided couples to better communication and deeper connection. Let me help you to redefine your life and find peace and calm in these difficult times!

What you can expect from me

I use an eclectic approach comprised of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Therapy

(RET), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), a touch of humor and warmth and compassion.

You will find that I am an active listener, non-judgmental, respectful of preferences and individual lifestyles, open minded and kind. You will be supported, validated and encouraged throughout the process of reaching your goals. Make sense of a very different world and find your inner peace and strength.
