Counseling, Coaching & Consultation

Hello! As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to helping adults overcome the negative effects of stressful or traumatic life experiences. My specialties include addressing upsetting events, trauma, narcissistic abuse, and relationship and marital issues. With over 20 years of experience, I have assisted many individuals in healing from depression, anxiety, interpersonal trauma, emotional and physical abuse, divorce, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, and self-esteem matters. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. This collaborative process involves engaging in conversations that open up possibilities, new meanings, and ideas, enabling you to find your own way forward when advice alone isn't enough. Additionally, I will share ideas, strategies, evidence-based techniques, and practical tools that you’ll find helpful. Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including clinical outpatient services, inpatient behavioral health, managed care, and medical hospitals. I have experience working with adults, children, and families. I also have expertise in narcissism, pathological relationship dynamics, and narcissistic abuse in all forms and types of relationships. I use an integrative combination of brain and body-based methods (CBT, DBT, Trauma-informed approach, EMDR, Mindfulness Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy) that research has shown to be effective. My focus is on helping individuals and couples build a repertoire of strategies to manage distressful symptoms, identify learned patterns and unhelpful ways of thinking, rewire their brains, resolve trauma, and access their strengths to work through upsetting events, fears, anxiety, blind spots, and roadblocks. Through our work together, you can gain deeper insight and awareness, helping you to get ‘unstuck,’ lead a happier and more fulfilling life, and build deeper and more intimate relationships.
