I have worked as a clinician in an outpatient mental health clinic for 14 years after earning a Bachelor of Human Services degree and a Master of Social Work degree. After working with adults, teens and children, the population where I have had the most impact is in working with women who find themselves in circumstances they never expected, (facing homelessness, divorce, loss, having to change careers), having to start over and re-invent themselves.

Therapy sessions with me are warm and supportive. Imagine walking into a warm room with a comfortable chair for you to sit and the scent of your favorite aroma therapy candle. There is also a selection of herb tea to sip. This is your session; you identify what you want to gain from therapy and the goals you want to achieve. We would then begin to explore the contributing factors that led to where you are utilizing Schema Therapy, CBT and Motivational Interviewing.

During each session, you will acquire insight about patterns of thinking, patterns of behavior and how negative messages that were conveyed to you during childhood have contributed to negative outcomes. The ultimate goal is empowerment, improved self-confidence and improved self-esteem. You are now able to make better choices and informed decisions. I look forward to working with you.
