Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than twenty five years of experience in the field of counseling and social work. "Your mental health matters, and I am here to support you through life’s toughest moments. Whether you’re facing unexpected challenges or ongoing struggles, I provide compassionate guidance to help you find clarity and healing. There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel—sometimes you just need a trusted guide to help you reach it.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a strengths based perspective approach in working with clients. I create tailored strategies that address your specific needs, whether you’re looking to manage stress, enhance mental clarity, or improve physical health. We will take steps to help you shift limiting beliefs and cultivate resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I provide practical tools and techniques, to help you effectively manage daily stressors.

What you can expect from our first session

I understand that seeking support can feel daunting, especially when facing life’s challenges. It takes courage to reach out, and I want you to know that you are not alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your concerns, explore your goals, and feel supported throughout your journey. I invite you to give me a call.
