Mental Health Treatment

Are you struggling with grief, adjustment to a new situation, anxiety, OCD, difficulty with communication with others or within your marriage or partnership? Did you just have a baby and you’re struggling with post partum depression or anxiety? You may be looking for a safe space to talk. I can help you with that in a non-judgemental, friendly and welcoming environment. If you are struggling, I can help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I work with adults, couples and families. I utilize a variety of methodologies in practice, depending on the client’s needs. I believe every person has the ability to improve their situation and live the life they have always wanted.

I am fascinated by other’s life journeys and I love to hear stories of strength and resilience in times of difficulty. I can help you rewrite your story, and find your true path. Playing a part in the journey to healing is an honor. Through talk therapy, I will help you find yourself.

Not accepting new Clients

I specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, body image & self-esteem, and chronic stress where the focus is to provide education and empowerment around the mind-body connection. We learn to understand our body/mind have learned a way of survival that may no longer serve us. Therapy allows for the body and mind to create space from imprinted thoughts & emotions in order to see choice in self-talk, belief system, behaviors, and gain acceptance of ourselves. We learn how to rewire/rewrite our narrative through self-compassion. Therapy is not an easy process and I know what it’s like to be on the journey.

My goal is to empower individuals in recognizing their choices during moments when the body and mind are stuck in fear. Through trauma focused modalities, we process past and present stuck imprints to bring the body and mind back to a balanced state. We learn how we’ve been conditioned to survive and how that survival mode may no longer serve us.

Modalities: EMDR (group and individual), mindful CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Yoga. I believe therapy is an active process. I am here to reflect, support, and be a guide while clients understand their needs and what is best for them. I also believe that laughter is a wonderful medicine while we sift through and unravel past conditioning.
