Great to meet you!

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Addiction Specialist with over 25 years of experience in addiction recovery and mental health counseling. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care to help clients navigate challenges and build resilience. I am bilingual in English with limited Spanish, allowing me to provide care to a diverse client base,

I also work with individuals with special needs, including Autism, Spina Bifida, and Down Syndrome, who are able to engage in therapy. My practice is inclusive and affirming, supporting individuals from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community.

I accept private pay and can provide the necessary documentation for clients seeking reimbursement through their insurance".

My approach to therapy

"I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients from all backgrounds, including those in the special needs community, can explore their feelings and work toward healing and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural competence, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs, helping them develop self-awareness, coping strategies, and long-term resilience. My goal is to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity."

What you can expect from me

"Clients can expect a supportive, inclusive, and culturally competent space where they feel heard and valued. Whether struggling with addiction, navigating identity-related challenges, or having special needs, each session is tailored to their unique circumstances. Through evidence-based, empathetic, and personalized care, I help clients build self-awareness, develop coping skills, and work toward lasting recovery and well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to create meaningful change and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience."
