Great to meet you!

You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. Change is possible, and you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 40 years of experience helping women move through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, chronic illness or pain, loneliness, and questions about purpose. Together, we’ll work to help you reconnect with your strengths, develop healthier ways of coping, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentically yours.

My approach to therapy

You are the expert on your life. I bring the experience, guidance, and tools to help you move forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, blending compassion with practical strategies that foster lasting growth. Whether you're navigating emotional pain, midlife changes, relationship concerns, or feeling stuck and disconnected, I provide a supportive space where you can build resilience, strengthen self-love, gain insight, and make meaningful, sustainable changes.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity to tell your story without judgment or pressure. We’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss the challenges you're facing, identify your goals, and begin creating a path forward together. You can expect a thoughtful, compassionate conversation that helps you feel understood, hopeful, and equipped with the first steps toward positive change.
