About me
I am an experienced therapist, who is dedicated to helping individuals dealing with life stressors (ie, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and loss, work related stress, childhood trauma, life transitions) to learn how to cope with anxiety, depression and other maladaptive feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
I am a clinical social worker who has over 20 years experience working with children and families. The majority of my experience has been in child welfare (reunification, foster care and adoption), however I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in mental health and the hospital setting. These experiences have afforded me a great deal of insight, tools and most importantly compassion when working with individuals dealing with intense, complicated and stressful life challenges.
As your therapist, my priorities are to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows you to feel safe, respected, and heard. Allow me to walk alongside you as you embark on this healing journey. I am here to help you face your challenges, fears and traumas. Once we have identified those areas of concern, we will begin to address and unravel some of the challenges which have prevented you from being your best self and living your best life. I may not have all the answers but I’m here to offer an unbiased, listening ear and the needed support to help you process your questions, your thoughts, and your situations, as well as assist in problem solving and developing effective coping skills.
Together, we can explore the things that make you happy and contribute to a life well-lived. I am committed to empowering you to connect to your inner strength. Helping you to gain the insight and tools needed to re-establish hope, recognize your strengths, tap into your resilience and realize your authentic self. You are the expert of your life!
The decision to seek therapy is not easy, so I applaud you for taking steps to enhance your mental health. I am currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation, and let's talk about how we can collaborate on your journey.
