Credentials and Background:
I have over ten years of experience in counseling clients on issues of anxiety and depression. I am well-versed in assisting people with substance abuse issues. Additionally, I have an extensive background in working with people in grief and bereavement counseling, along with helping people with the loss of a pet or animal companion.

I began my career in business, and I also have significant experience in the arts and creative endeavors. Whether you are dealing with issues of stress at work, or struggling with a creative block, I have the knowledge and skill to guide you through those challenges.

I have a master's degree in liberal arts, as well as an MSW, and I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ("LCSW") with the goal of opening my own practice. I am trained in a number of different styles of therapy, so I can truly tailor the therapy experience for each individual client.

Philosophy:
Therapy is a journey of discovery embarked upon when we want to bring change into our lives. As a therapist, my role is that of a fellow traveler there to support and guide you, providing you with the tools to help you through the rough spots. To that end, I engage in compassionate, client-centered therapy for individuals and couples.

The best place to start is exactly where you are today. Whether we work together for a short time or a longer period will be determined by your goals. Success comes when you achieve the goals you set for yourself, and bring about the desired change in your life.
