Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience, I create a relaxed, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction issues, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress—and we’ll face it together, one step at a time.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or intimidating—it can be a place where you feel comfortable, understood, and maybe even find moments of lightness along the way. You don’t have to do this alone. My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again (or discover a new version of yourself you’re proud of) while taking real steps forward.

What you can expect from me

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and definitely action-oriented. That means we won’t just sit and talk (unless you need that some days!)—we’ll also focus on real-life tools and strategies you can actually use outside of sessions. I specialize in goal setting and achievement, addiction treatment, depression, anxiety, and helping people move into the next chapter of their lives with clarity and confidence. Using evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, I tailor our work to fit you—keeping it practical, supportive, and focused on meaningful progress.
