I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and safe to explore the challenges that bring you to therapy. Whether you're seeking healing, personal growth, or greater balance, I’m committed to helping you build practical tools and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use a client-centered, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides a helpful framework, I also draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support healing from trauma and other life challenges. You can expect kindness, honesty, and straightforward communication. I prioritize creating an environment where you feel comfortable sharing openly. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely respected, safe, and gently challenged to grow at a pace that feels right for you.
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from the process. Together, we'll identify areas for growth and create meaningful goals that support positive change. My role is to guide and support you in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment as well as gently challenging you when needed.
