Introduction

If you’re feeling lost, scared or stuck in your day to day routine, your relationships with family, friends or co-workers it may be time to take another look. I believe that all of us are working towards an improved version of ourselves or a better understanding of what may be in our way. I work to help individuals repair, restructure and rebuild their relationships with themselves and those they love. So whether it be individual or family work you are seeking I believe therapy is meant to help you uncover the hidden messages your emotions are trying to tell you. Let me help you along your journey towards healing, repair and growth I am a licensed clinical social worker, a clinical supervisor. I have been extensively trained in Family Systems, Family Structural, and Eco-systemic Family Therapy, and also train other clinicians in these approaches. I have also been trained in Dialectical Behavior therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Let me help you create time to dedicate to the things that you deeply want, need and care about. Depression, anxiety, shame, and anger are usually symptoms of things within yourself that you have neglected, given up on, or settled for. Instead of just treating the symptoms, I want to help you get to the core of what these emotions are trying to tell you.
