I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience supporting people through some of the hardest parts of life. I believe many barriers to mental and physical well-being are rooted in various forms of trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for end of life care, loss, women's issues, and trauma, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and deeply respected.
In our work together, I see you as the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, empathy, and encouragement as we navigate your challenges and build on your strengths. I use a collaborative, trauma informed approach that honors your pace and your story. Together we will focus on understanding how past and present experiences shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today.
During our first session, we will start by getting to know you and what brings you to therapy right now. We will gently explore patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you from the sense of peace and mental well-being you want. I will ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and offer initial reflections. By the end of our time, you can expect to have a clearer sense of your goals and how we might move forward together.
