Life can be full of ups and downs, but I am here to help. Are life stressors getting you down? Would you like to improve your relationships? Are you struggling with transitioning into a new role like parenthood, starting a new job, buying a house, or attending college? Do you have a teen that is stressed in school? Let us work together to address anxiety, depression, broken relationships, and past hurts so that you can reach your full potential.
As a clinical social worker and educator, I believe in educating my clients as we work together to achieve the highest mental and emotional balance. In a relaxed therapeutic environment, we will consider internal struggles and the influences of personal relationships, school, family history, work, and community on your challenges. You feel heard and respected as we work together to achieve the goals you have set for treatment. I am here to help you improve your future so that you can live the life you want and deserve.
