You cannot just "get over it" when dealing with pain, depression, anxiety or trauma or just "stop" habits like overeating, smoking cigarettes, or just "go to sleep." These problems are not simple and and involve multiple factors and the mind-body relationship can exert a positive influence on our physical and mental well-being. By using integrated mind-body approaches, including psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and movement, I can help you identify and improve areas of your life that may have been overlooked, but significantly affects your health and quality of life.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.
The focus of my practice is to facilitate the client's self-concept and self-esteem. Issues include anger management; addictions; depression; sexual assault/domestic violence; PTSD; career counseling; and multicultural and diverse populations, among others.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, C-ASWCM, CBIS, CAMF, SAP
As a counselor, therapist and medical case manager, I have grown in my understanding of the importance of the mind body connection (physical and mental health). Therefore, each person is encouraged (coached) from a person-centered strength perspective to make positive changes in their life based on their lifestyle goals.
I am a therapist that specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief and loss, and a variety of inner conflicts that diminish the joy of living. I will focus on establishing goals for your personal needs, healthy coping skills and develop positive growth utilizing confidentiality, trust and a non-judgmental atmosphere.
I have a holistic approach to counseling, evaluating the whole person from both their inner and outer characteristics. I believe both clinical and the spiritual dynamics of therapy go hand in hand. I will provide effective therapy to each client according to your uniqueness and need.
