I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice/Supervisor (LISW-CP/S) and owner of Soteria Counseling LLC with over 14 years of experience serving adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, anger management, relationship challenges, and working with individuals navigating court or probation requirements.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices that are both supportive and structured. Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and solution-focused—I provide a nonjudgmental space while also helping you build practical tools for lasting change.
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming, structured, and nonjudgmental environment where we begin building trust and clarity. We will review your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from therapy, while identifying immediate priorities. I typically collaborate with clients to set clear, realistic goals and outline a practical plan for moving forward. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and confident about the direction of our work together.
