We provide therapy outside of the normal "talk therapy" that helps people gain skills and tools to help them with life on life's terms. Have you ever wondered what it would take to live your full potential whether it is living better with a chronic condition such as pain, depression, anxiety or ADHD? Is there something holding you back in business, your creative life or in your most important relationships that you cannot identify? I am a psychotherapist, creator, lover of dogs. I help people who might be missing the mark in their lives and who may have tried traditional therapy with not much long-lasting success. Do you find yourself in a rut with no way out? I have been preparing my entire adult life to help you find the path you are looking for. Be ready for an honest therapist with a honed BS meter and mad clinical skills. Together, we will identify the “right” path for you, and walk the road together to move you from ordinary to extraordinary by coloring outside the lines of most traditional therapy. You will get the benefit of my years of practice, education and skills. What I ask from an ideal client is that they take this journey seriously. I won’t be your friend, I will be your cheerleader, teacher and professional therapist and I won’t “nod” you to death and ask you “how do you feel about that.”
We will do the work it takes to get you on the “right” path to success that was meant for you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D in Clinical Sexology and a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in social work. Through many years experience working with differing populations, I have grown the knowledge and compassion to provide you with the most recent researched-based methods of treatment. My commitment is to the client always and allows the client to benefit in the following ways:
+accepting some insurances
+the ability to interface with your doctors for continuity
+vast pharmaceutical knowledge
+provision of a comfortable setting to do your best work
+providing timely and relevant mental health care
+development of an individualized treatment plan
+using a trauma- informed and neuroscience- based approach
I will meet you on the path. Be well.
