Accepting new/ tele-health clients!! Welcome, simply arriving on this site suggests you have moved forward on your journey to health and wellness. I have been counseling clients for over 20 years and have found that making this initial outreach is often the biggest hurdle. Many of the individuals I work with have experienced depression or anxiety and many have found that substance use, once a form of 'decompression', has in fact compounded their struggle. This does not need to be your 'new' or 'permanant normal.'

“I can’t do this anymore.” “I can’t call (insert friend’s name) because they have enough on their plate.” “I feel so alone.” “This black cloud just keeps getting bigger.” “Why am I so upset?

Sometimes, we just need someone to help sort it all out. Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief or loss, a recent breakup or divorce, a constant shadow of or the grip of depression, therapy can help. The first step is finding the right therapist for you

My style is based on the biopsychosocial model of therapy, which is grounded in the idea that mental health does not exist in a vacuum but is impacted by the systems we are a part of. Additionally, my therapeutic style draws from feminist theory, trauma informed therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing. I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, victims of sexual violence, as well as individuals struggling with addiction.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who has worked in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use disorders for twenty+ years. I am especially concerned for, not only the person who uses, but the people who have been affected by a loved one's behaviors, be it substance use or something else. Often dealing with a loved one's issues can cause significant impairment in your own life and mental health. Self-care is essential if you are going to live a sane and happy life. To help someone else, it is of upmost importance to have support and help for yourself.

Psychotherapy is a process of increasing self-awareness, and using what we have discovered to make our lives richer. In order to implement change, the problem must be clearly defined. Human beings are inherently imperfect, understanding our vulnerabilities, our fears ,and our destructive tendencies frees these dynamics to effect change. Absent an awareness of our darker side, we make decisions that are not fully informed and choices that often come back to haunt us. Self-awareness allows us to better understand ourselves and the world. Knowledge is power.
