Biography: Welcome! As a therapist, I see my role as one of accompaniment, which is walking with an individual during a difficult time in a person's journey. My work is to listen well and do my best to understand a person's situation so that I can be a supportive presence, empowering the individual to move towards a greater sense of well-being. Since one size does not fit all, I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches and strategies based on the needs, preferences, and personality of the individual as well as my understanding of best practices. Some of the approaches I draw from frequently include psycho-dynamic, systems, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and motivational interviewing. In general, my approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, is strength-based and trauma-informed. For more than 12 years, I have had the privilege of working with people of all ages, from many different cultures and socio-economic circumstances. I've accompanied young mothers, people living on the streets of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, women, children and young adults in transitional housing due to homelessness, people in various stages of the (addiction) recovery process and hospice patients and their families. I have lived and worked cross-culturally spending a total of five years in Haiti. My undergraduate degree in special education, as well as my experiences and training, have prepared me well to accompany individuals who learn differently, think differently or are wired differently than the average person. Many of the people I have worked with have experienced trauma in its many different forms including natural disaster, oppression due to economic and social injustice, domestic violence, and various forms of abuse. I have worked successfully with people desiring a supportive presence during a life transition or loss as well as those who have struggled with multiple major challenges for much of their lives. If you are seeking a compassionate therapist to walk with you at this time in your life journey, I invite you to contact me to determine if I am the therapist for you. Whether you choose to work with me or another therapist, I wish you the best as you journey toward greater healing and wholeness because your life and happiness are important.

I am here to help formulate those questions with you and, if you're willing to do the work, help you answer them. Why am I uniquely positioned to help you?

Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years of work experience. I have worked with individuals with issues of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, self-esteem, borderline personality disorder, and the full range of psychotic symptoms and mood disorders. I also have experience and am comfortable working with couples and families, addressing issues such as communication problems, conflict resolution, and relationship enhancement. I am a practical, interactive solution-focused therapist who incorporates a blend of conventional and alternative approaches - drawing upon various styles and techniques in the process. I have worked with a diverse population of clients and in many different settings-from acute emergency-based care to community mental health setting to private practice. I take special pride in cultivating a spirit of caring and respect for everyone I see regardless of the problems or issues they might bring to counseling. It takes courage to embark on the healing journey that is counseling. My focus is to work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. I achieve this by actively listening, providing empathy, and maintaining confidentiality. As they commence the process, that will lead to a sense of wellbeing and vitality. Working at a thought and feelings level can be the catalyst for unraveling the puzzle that is our lives and can lead as well to the resolution of problems and issues that limit our capacity to lead productive and happy lives as we develop the skills needed to navigate the difficulties encountered in daily lives. My passion is to support each individual's journey with hope as they travel the road to wholeness, wellness, freedom and empowerment. It takes courage to undertake this venture and I am grateful and honored to be able to encourage and validate the personal strength and willingness needed to take this big step forward.

Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process.

Care Philosophy: We are both perfect and imperfect. We can love and accept ourselves for who we are right now. And we can learn, change, develop, and grow every day to become more and more the best person we can be. Whether we believe it is Divine Will or the natural consequence of previous events, what has already happened can be learned from, but cannot be changed. We can carry around negative emotions, or we can make peace. What can change is what we do today or tomorrow or how we respond. In order to do this, what we most need to change are our thoughts. And the thoughts we most need to change are the negative thoughts we have about ourselves, about "people," and about "the world." The glass is both half full AND half empty. If we've been focused on the emptiness in life, and it hasn't brought us to where we want to be, let's shift more of our focus to the fullness in life and see what happens :)
