Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal from unresolved trauma and its impact on daily life, including relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and patterns that may feel difficult to change. I specialize in supporting clients navigating grief and bereavement, anxiety, panic disorders, ADD/ADHD, PSTD, family challenges, and stress management. My approach is warm, affirming, and solution-focused, and I strive to create a supportive space where clients can build insight, foster healing, and make meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I provide a safe space where clients can explore and challenge beliefs about themselves shaped by past traumatic experiences. I have been certified in EMDR for over 20 years and use this evidence-based approach to help clients address acute, chronic, and complex trauma, including sexual abuse, military trauma, emotional neglect, and physical abuse. In addition to EMDR, I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Couples Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Behavior Management Therapy to support your overall growth.

What you can expect from me

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy and will follow your lead in identifying the goals you want to achieve. Together, we can explore patterns, support personal growth, and create meaningful change. I also believe that lasting progress comes from active participation, and I encourage clients to engage fully in the therapeutic process and the work it requires. I am excited to partner with you on this journey towards life improvement!
