Great to meet you!

I’m a Clinical Social Worker with more than 32 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, school stress, and major life transitions. I also specialize in crisis intervention, parenting support, digital wellness, and social media-related concerns. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building on their existing strengths, and helping them develop practical tools for lasting change. For clients who would like it, I also offer Christian faith-based counseling.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space to share what has been bringing them in and what they hope to gain from therapy. We’ll talk about your current challenges, relevant background, and goals, and begin identifying the best path forward together.
