I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been licensed for over 23 years. I can help you to find a better balance, improve your mood, reduce stress, change self-defeating patterns, and feel better about your life. I offer safe and supportive counseling for people struggling with anxiety, depression, problems with relationships, or who are simply trying to improve some aspect of their life. Therapy brings the opportunity to explore what is meaningful in your life and help you to make appropriate choices. I help people take charge of their life, build on their strengths and assets, manage negative/stressful issues or concerns and live a self-directed, joyful, productive life. We'll find solutions to life's challenges, reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and explore the "mind-body-spirit" connection to health and wellness. I work with adults, adolescents and children in individual, marriage and family therapy. I use a non-judgmental, straight forward approach with a dash of humor on the side. I am trained in EMDR Therapy and can help you sort through past traumas. Combining a variety of techniques geared towards each individuals learning style we will find the approach that works best for you.

Many variables contribute to anxiety and depression, such as sleep deprivation, improper eating habits including not only what we eat but when we eat. Also, physical health issues may contribute to anxiety and depression along with effecting the quality of relationships. It's very difficult to feel happiness and accomplish goals when we feel anxious or depressed. Therapy is able to help with many issues. I see people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, post concussion syndrome better know as traumatic brain injury and interracial issues. Sometimes they are attempting to move past their past in order to move forward. When people first come to me they usually feel hopeless or helpless to make changes. Having an experienced and skilled therapist to listen and guide them makes all the difference. People are able to tell their story and express thoughts and feelings in complete confidentiality, safety, warmth and compassion. This space allows them to see how their past is effecting them today. They learn to think about things differently, feel differently and behave differently.
