As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate, collaborative, and solution-focused approach to therapy. My role is to provide a safe, structured space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making sense of what’s bringing you in.
Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify practical, manageable steps forward. I believe therapy works best when it feels supportive, focused, and grounded in real life.
Therapy is not about judgment or “fixing” you. We begin by recognizing your strengths and building from what is already working. From there, we develop skills and strategies that support meaningful change at a pace that feels sustainable.
I will ask thoughtful questions, reflect what I’m hearing, and offer observations or tools that may be helpful. My work often integrates evidence-based practices, including mindfulness and meditation when appropriate. These approaches are always optional and tailored to your needs, preferences, and comfort level.
In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. I’ll gather relevant background information while making sure you feel heard and comfortable.
By the end of our time together, you can expect greater clarity about your goals and a clearer sense of direction for our work. My intention is for you to leave feeling supported, understood, and confident about the next steps.
