Welcome
I am a licensed clinical social worker
with over two decades of experience
in community mental health care.
My approach to counseling is thoughtful
and eclectic, drawing from psychodynamic,
cognitive behavioral, humanistic/existential
and transpersonal therapies.
With warmth, respect, and authenticity,
I hope to help you find what you are seeking.

"If you want to live a truly fulfilling life, first get to know yourself.
Face what lies within you .... It is through our imperfection
that we realize that we belong to the human family.
Learn the truth of who you are -- your past, your present,
and your aspirations for the future. Learn to accept yourself,
your scars, your fragilities ..... Learn to celebrate your strength
and your beauty .... Learn to love yourself in all your complexity,
completely and unconditionally. "
