My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues. I am fully aware of the impact that living with mental health issues can take on an individual’s life. I believe in helping patients regain control in their lives in order to live their best life. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes from severe to high functioning, all forms of depression can be treatable and I believe that by working together we can come up with a treatment plan to help you feel more like yourself again. Often depression and anxiety can go hand in hand, working with clients who have experienced feelings of both depression and anxiety we can determine appropriate coping skills to help manage both. I have also worked with clients who have experienced varying trauma, from childhood trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence as well PTSD. We are seeing more and more individuals who experience varying level of trauma from bullying at school, or in the workplace, as well as spiritual trauma from religious experiences.

I am a LPC & LSW with over 20 years in the mental health field. I have two masters’ degrees and a doctorate degree. My strengths are working with people with the greatest need who may not have any hope, support or desire initially to help themselves. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and families/couples. I work with diverse groups of people. I love my job. I feel that it is important and that only certain people can do it well. Please reach out to me. We will work together as a team. My approach to working with clients is to meet them where they are at. I do not believe in making the client adjust to the clinician. That is not fair. During the therapy session the appropriate therapeutic model will be decided based on what the client reveals during the first few sessions. It is then when the clinician will discuss the thoughts regarding the therapeutic model and the reason for it with the client. Clients can expect to take away a different view of what therapy sessions are after having a session with me. Sessions are actually team work. They are interactive and allow the clients to participate and reflect on many past events not just recent. Therapy can be very empowering. Open to working with children/adolescents 8 years and older.
