Great to meet you!

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change but not sure where to start?

With over 25 years of experience in mental health, I help individuals gain clarity, break unhelpful patterns, and move toward a more purposeful and fulfilling life. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I use practical, proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based strategies to support real, lasting change.

I work with individuals facing challenges such as addiction, stress, and feeling stuck in life. Together, we focus on building awareness, improving decision-making, and developing tools you can use in your everyday life.

I believe meaningful change is possible for everyone—with the right support, guidance, and a clear path forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on helping you create real, lasting change. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience, I support individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. I provide trauma-informed care in a safe, respectful space where you can explore your experiences and build practical tools for healing and growth.

I use proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and Neuro-Linguistic strategies to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and make meaningful changes. Together, we strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and reconnect you with your values and goals.

Whether you’re working through past trauma, feeling overwhelmed, or navigating a life transition, therapy with me focuses on helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step—but the first session is simply a conversation focused on you.

In your first session, we focus on helping you feel comfortable, heard, and respected. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you would like help with—at your pace, in a supportive and non-judgmental space.

We’ll explore what you want to be different in your life and begin identifying clear, meaningful goals for therapy. I’ll also help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are connected, so you can start gaining clarity and direction.

Together, we’ll gently look at patterns or challenges that may be getting in the way, while also recognizing your strengths and what’s already working for you.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a better sense of how therapy can support you and what next steps may look like—so you can leave feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about change.
