Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions. With over 20 years of experience, my work is grounded in evidence‐based practice, with a deep commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and build meaningful change. I support both men and women who are navigating stress, relationship challenges, identity shifts, burnout, and the lingering impact of past trauma. My style is warm, collaborative, and steady—focused on helping you understand your patterns, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward a healthier, more grounded version of yourself.

My approach to therapy

I use a trauma‐informed, client‐centered approach that integrates cognitive‐behavioral strategies, somatic awareness, emotional regulation skills, and insight‐oriented therapy. I work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, helping you build clarity, resilience, and practical tools you can use in daily life. I believe therapy should feel supportive and empowering—not rushed, pressured, or overwhelming. Together, we identify what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift for you to feel more in control of your emotional world.

What you can expect from me

Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, and direct in a supportive way. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you make sense of what you’re feeling without judgment. You can expect a therapeutic environment where you feel respected, understood, and equipped with tools that support long‐term emotional health.
