Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. As the owner of Serenity Counseling and Consulting, I provide a supportive, down-to-earth environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, practical, and individualized. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, DBT, and other trauma-informed and somatic techniques.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about helping you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what’s important to you, and what you hope to change. There’s no pressure, we’ll start where you are and work together from there
