About My Clients

I understand how intimidating it may be to start therapy. I hope when starting, my clients feel comfortable and desire to explore their feelings freely. I get to the root of the concerns and begin to provide tools to my clients so they can begin to help themselves conquer what they desire to conquer. I look forward to hearing from you!

My Background and Approach

I am a LISW-S that has been currently practicing for 14 years. I specialize in Trauma, ADHD, OCD, Tics/Tourettes, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I work with ages 11 and up and see individuals and couples. My approach is direct, client centered and solution centered. I begin by uncovering the layers of what makes you, you. We speak about the root of the concerns and the synaptic connections that were made in the past that are affecting you now.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone can have the life or the mind set they desire- you just have to define what that is. If you have ever read the book Harold and the Purple Crayon as a kid, you know that Harold wanted to draw the world the way he wanted to see it. He wanted to see a tree outside his window so he drew it, he wanted a path to walk on, he created it. I will help you begin to see the things you want to create and find solutions to make it a reality. I can't wait to get started.
