Hello- I know that taking the step to reach out for help can be difficult for many people. I am glad you are taking that step and would love to help you on your journey. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship and a journey to self-discovery. While we can’t change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. I believe that people are experts on their own lives and are coping the best they can. I believe that with the right support, all people have the power to heal themselves and find true inner happiness. I have worked with those who struggle with addiction, anxiety, self-esteem, emotional eating, work/life balance issues, family/relationship/parenting concerns, sexual orientation and gender identity. I take a strength based, warm but direct approach when working with others. I believe that the most important factor to successful therapy outcomes is the relationship between client/therapist. I have been a social worker for over 15 years and have a vast amount of experience in helping individuals who are presented with difficult times. I have a direct, down to earth style. Having worked with diverse populations, I recognize that your circumstances are unique to you and therefore approaching the healing process in a way that incorporates your individuality is essential. If you think I might be a good fit for you, please feel free to take the next step to set up an appointment with me. Together we can work to establish goals that are realistic to you and your current situation.
