I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy works best when you feel truly heard — not judged. I bring warmth, honesty, and a no-nonsense approach to our work together. My goal is for every client to leave each session feeling a little more understood and a little more equipped than when they walked in. I work with most major insurance plans, so getting quality care shouldn't have to break the bank.
Great to meet you!
As a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and overall well-being. Seeking help can be very difficult, so congratuations on taking that first step! I've been working to help teenagers and young adults over the past 15 years and look forward to supporting you in this journey!
Hi, I'm Carmen! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 4 years of experience supporting individuals, children, and families through life's toughest moments. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, mood challenges, neurodivergence, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, chronic pain, insomnia, and major life transitions. What drives me is creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—because I believe in meeting you exactly where you are.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel accepted, understood, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself while also feeling challenged to grow. I meet clients where they are, recognizing that everyone comes to therapy with unique experiences, strengths, and goals.
