Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years in the mental health field, I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for finding joy and stability in life. Kudos to you for taking the brave step to seek help. It takes courage to share your story and be vulnerable, and I’m here to support you on that journey. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and strengths to help you create a happier, healthier life. Let’s get started!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I recognize that everyone’s story is unique—like a Netflix series with unexpected plot twists! My goal is to tailor my approach to fit your needs. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a focus on staying present, I empower you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. Humor is a key ingredient in my practice; I believe laughter can be a powerful tool in healing. After all, if we can’t laugh at our struggles, we might just end up crying in our ice cream.

What you can expect from our first session

In our introductory session, I’ll invite you to share your story and your goals for therapy. This is your time to express what you hope to achieve, and I’ll be right there with you, actively listening and collaborating on a path forward. My aim is to create a warm and welcoming space where you feel safe to be yourself and explore your feelings—no judgment here, just plenty of support, we’ll work together in subsequent sessions to help you achieve your goals and enhance your well-being.
