Great to meet you!

Many people come to counseling feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the people around them. My role is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting adults through PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I draw from evidence‐based therapies—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD—to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that influence your life, identify your strengths, and build practical skills that support healing and resilience.

What you can expect from me

During our first sessions, we’ll take time to get to know each other, clarify what you’re hoping for, and begin gently working through the emotions and experiences that brought you here. My goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
