Are life’s stressors impacting your sense of joy, your family life, or other relationships? Are you struggling with worry or sadness that seems to keep you down? Do you feel as though you are alone in handling some of the challenges that life has put in front of you? Anxiety and depression can immobilize us, leaving us feeling a loss of control and sometimes we just can't make things better on our own. My training and 20+ years of experience prepared me to work with people of all cultures, ethnic backgrounds. I want to understand not only who you are as a person, but also how your background and experiences shape your life.
I work with adults experiencing OCD, phobias, anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, grief and loss, trauma, and individuals touched by adoption. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy and I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and develop a trusting and collaborative relationship with clients.
You are the expert in your journey to recovery. I am competent in a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, Family Systems, & Schema Therapy. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” I applaud you in taking the first step to be your best self.
