About

I am an LCSW with many years of experience helping individuals, families, and groups navigate anxiety, depression, trauma , substance abuse and dependence, and various life transitions. I incorporate a variety of approaches to achieve our goals that we mutually agree upon. Whether you feel ready or unsure of your commitment to change, I can help you determine what those next steps will be . Even though the process of change can be intimidating , its not as overwhelming when you have support and guidance. I am an intuitive, warm, and creative individual . Specialties: The main issues I deal with are trauma recovery , life transitions, as well as the treatment of anxiety and depression. Its very typical for us to discuss your treatment plan in the first session, and to jump right into assignments which are completed in between sessions Credentials & Experience: I worked for many years in community mental health as well as in an HIV clinic . Out of these experiences I went on to obtain certification in various different specializations including Alcohol and Substance Abuse , (C-CATODSW) as well as becoming a certified Hypnotherapist (CH).

"I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy , in my practice . I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well, as it pairs nicely with DBT. Increasingly, I am getting more requests for Hypnotherapy , and am using my training as a Certified Hypnotherapist in sessions . I often integrate Trauma Informed Therapy as well"
