Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CASAC-T with over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate life’s pressure points—from stress and burnout to anger, loss, and emotional shutdown. If you’ve been holding it down for everyone else, this space is for you.

I offer straightforward, judgment-free support that helps you slow down, reset your mindset, and move differently. My approach isn’t about fixing you—it’s about sharpening your thinking, clearing the mental clutter, and helping you reconnect with the steady, focused version of yourself that might’ve gotten buried under it all.

At KB’s Lighthouse, you don’t need to come in “ready to talk”—you just need to come in real. I’ll meet you there.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is supportive, flexible, and tailored to you. I combine practical tools with real conversations to help you understand patterns, manage emotions, and build on your strengths.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work at your pace—exploring what’s holding you back and creating a plan that actually fits your life.

The goal isn’t to analyze you—it’s to support you in moving forward with more clarity, confidence, and peace.

What you can expect from me

Clarity. Relief. Real support.

My sessions are a space for you to breathe, reflect, and move forward—without judgment or pressure. Whether you’re navigating stress, anger, anxiety, or life transitions, our work together will help you:

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Tools you can actually use Learn practical strategies to manage emotions, handle pressure, and communicate more clearly.
  • New ways of thinking We’ll unpack thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck—and replace them with ones that serve you.
  • A deeper understanding of yourself Therapy helps you connect the dots: why you react the way you do, what you’re carrying from the past, and how to heal it.
