I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples to assist them in achieving their full potential; mentally, emotionally and behaviorally. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space in order to gain a deep understanding of each client’s needs.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have a very diverse background in training and experience. I specialize in the treatment of all ages with anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse and relationship issues.

I understand how difficult it may be to seek help, and I believe that the first step to having a positive therapeutic outcome is the client/therapist relationship. I employ a supportive and holistic approach to help clients feel comfortable, safe, and secure in the therapeutic relationship.

My drive and passion is in assisting people to overcome their past, to be able to move forward and reach their full potential. I am a hands-on-therapist, who walks side by side with my patients until they’re ready to stand alone.

I am a social worker with a combined 25 years experience in a variety of settings including hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers and mental health clinics.

I use a strength-based approach to therapy. This means identifying what my clients are already doing well, and guiding them to use those strengths to surmount any obstacles standing in the way of them living their best life.

My mission is to help my clients find the tools within themselves to cope with the hardships of life so that they may not only function, but truly flourish.
