I have been practicing as a Social Worker for over 38 years. I have a lot of experience in the areas of behavioral health services which includes a host of treatment focus areas and chemical dependency. I am energetic and enthusiastic about my work with clients. I am currently accepting new clients at this time. I like to incorporate in my work with clients self expression and self exploration. Outside of my work I love to engage in dance therapy, exercise for fitness, reading and sewing.
Do you find yourself doubting your ability? Are you and your family/partner interested in building healthier ways to communicate? Are you ready to heal from the things that you have been afraid to talk about? James Baldwin once said, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." This quote is the essence of therapy, facing difficult obstacles and experiences in hopes with exploration and work things will change.

Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist that gives a safe space to children, adults, and couples who want to help make sense of your thoughts/feelings/behaviors. Also, if you're having trouble with your relationships-trouble connecting with people, isolating, or trying to figure out why something turned out the way it did, I can help you uncover that and help you create future relationships you actually want.
