About
I believe that each one of us has a genuine need to feel valued and connected. I also believe that connection is the foundation in our lives. We all need to find our purpose and find a place where we can belong to something bigger than ourselves. Sometimes our inability to connect with others can leave us feeling empty, hopeless or insecure. It can cause us to isolate, tolerate unhealthy relationships, abuse substances or lose our direction. When we learn to build healthy connections and find our purpose, we are more likely to experience hope and fulfillment. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 30+ years of experience. Many of my clients struggle with relationships, life transitions, feelings of isolation, school demands, perfectionism, career decisions, parenting, body image, depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual orientation and suicidal ideation. I am certified in Attachment Focused EMDR (Parnell Institute). EMDR helps people heal from all kinds of trauma. Therapy takes courage and strength. We all struggle at times and deserve to feel heard and understood. I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where trust and connection are the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. I respect each client's story and process in order to support change.
