Great to meet you!

Welcome and Congratulations,

You’re standing at the threshold of something meaningful—something that could shift the trajectory of your life or that of someone you love. The simple act of showing up and exploring your options speaks volumes about your strength and courage. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you as you rekindle hope, possibility, and purpose.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience supporting youth and young adults. I’ve expanded my practice in recent years to include a special focus on home based counseling for older adults and those who love and care for them. My areas of expertise include:

  • Anxiety & Depression
    • Grief & Loss
    • Coping with Health Issues
    • Early Stages of Dementia
    • Enhancing Coping Skills
    • Life Transitions
    • Trauma
    • Family & Caregiver Support

My approach to therapy

I’m deeply committed to fostering authentic connection—within yourself and with others—because I believe connection is a cornerstone of healing. You can expect honesty, warmth, and unwavering support as we work together. I will honor your autonomy, strengths, and story while helping you build a life rooted in meaning and resilience.

I integrate a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy
  • Problem-Solving Therapy
  • Reminiscence Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Collaboration is key to effective care. That’s why I work closely with families, healthcare providers, schools, assisted living communities, and care/case managers to ensure a holistic, well-coordinated approach that supports your goals and enhances outcomes.

What you can expect from me

In our first session and beyond, I want you to feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, we’ll explore the pain that’s pushing you and uncover the vision that’s pulling you forward. We’ll create a plan to help you get back on track—and I’ll be with you every step of the way, offering support, compassion, and a space to grow.
