Hi, I’m Dara. If starting therapy feels intimidating, you’re not alone—my goal is to make this feel safe, approachable, and helpful from day one. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor, and I work with clients facing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns.

We’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable, and we’ll focus on practical strategies while also making sense of the bigger picture. You deserve support that feels genuine and effective.

I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as my primary approach, while integrating mindfulness and relational/insight-oriented work to fit your goals. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and practical—we’ll focus on patterns that keep you stuck and build tools for coping, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships.

In our first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you want to feel different. We’ll review relevant background, identify your goals, and begin outlining a plan that fits your needs. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction—and often a few practical tools to start using right away.
