Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience I offer compassionate and tailored therapy for individuals facing mental health challenges. Specializing in adults with mood disorders, I have worked collaboratively with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. My approach combines evidence based practices in a non judgmental, caring environment to help encourage healing and personal growth, helping clients rediscover their strength and resilience

My approach to therapy

Offering a evidence based, holistic approach I strive to empower clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms, build stronger relationships and lead more fulfilling lives using CBT, person centered therapy, trauma informed care and solutions- focused therapy.

I combine professional experience with genuine care and understanding. Whether you're working through specific life symptoms or seeking to improve overall well-being, you will receive personalized guidance in a welcoming environment. Sessions are designed to be collaborative, empowering you to develop the tools needed to live a balanced and healthy life.
