Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate, results-driven Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 25 years of experience in behavioral health. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My work has spanned diverse settings, from community mental health to private practice, allowing me to support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My primary focus is on adults, aging, and women's concerns.

My approach to therapy

As an eclectic therapist, I draw from CBT to break negative thought cycles, Motivational Interviewing to foster change, and Solution-Focused Techniques to help set goals and track progress.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share your story, discover strengths, and develop tools for lasting change.

What you can expect from me

From our first session to the last, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you are heard, understood, and supported. Together we’ll explore your goals, tackle challenges at your pace, and build practical tools for lasting change. Each step is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on your growth and well-being.
