Hello! I am a clinically trained social worker experienced in helping people bounce back from life's difficulties. You may be dealing with life changes, relationship struggles, parenting issues, or personal challenges, and you can take action to live a happy and productive life. I enjoy connecting with people and helping them find the inner strength and outer resources which will help them solve their problems. Some words that describe me well are balanced, open-minded, independent, thoughtful, and silly. I think it is important to keep a certain perspective on life and its challenges and to look for moments of hope, beauty, and humor. Bringing conscious awareness to our daily lives is the key to living well. I help people become aware of what they're doing and why they're doing it. When we know and accept all the parts of our personality, we can approach any situation from a place of strength. Our interactions become more balanced as we relate to others with our whole self, and we begin to feel happier internally and with others. Life's goal is to teach us how to exist in this world and be at peace within all circumstances. Operating as whole beings--aware of our motivations, patterns, and personal truth--brings us tranquility, joy, and satisfaction with the way things are.
More Info About My Practice
My regular session fee is $80, but I offer a sliding scale based on financial need. I believe in making therapy affordable and accessible to people from any income bracket. If a person has a desire to increase their happiness with life, I want to support that effort. I offer a free 30-minute session for potential new clients, as the personality fit between client and therapist is so important. The initial session gives us a chance to get to know each other and decide whether we would like to start therapeutic work together. Please see my website for more detailed information on my practice methods and philosophies. Thanks for viewing my profile!
