I am a Clinical Social Worker with over twenty-five years of experience in the field of mental health treatment. I enjoy helping people through using evidence-based therapists to achieve their mental health goals. While collaborating with me, you can expect to learn how to identify negative beliefs and thought patterns that hold you back from living the life you deserve. If you are struggling in your relationships, you can learn healthy coping skills as well as how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries which are foundational to any good relationship.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons and at various times throughout their life. Asking for help can be one of the hardest yet most rewarding decisions you can make for yourself. As a clinician, my goal is to explore with you areas in your life that have caused pain and suffering, help you to achieve greater self-awareness, and increase personal growth. I aim to provide a strong and caring presence that allows you to relax, take your guard down, and explore the most honest version of you.

Greetings, good people! I'm here inviting all those who are willing to take charge of their lives right now and become the best version of themselves in a safe judgment-free zone, with the only result being to be great! I use person-centered therapy to first establish rapport and provide a safe environment for my clients. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. These approaches are hands-on and give you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors.

You’ve been the strong one for everyone else — at work, at home, in your relationships — but lately it feels like too much. You want clarity, balance, and peace, but aren’t sure where to start.
I help adults, women, and professionals navigate life’s transitions, relationship stress, trauma recovery, and emotional fatigue. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals who appear to have it “all together,” yet feel anxious, disconnected, or burned out beneath the surface. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and build a path forward that feels sustainable—not overwhelming.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected despite “holding it together” on the outside. Many come in wanting to understand old patterns, big emotions, or the tension their body carries. They’re tired of pushing through and want real, lasting change. My clients want a grounded, compassionate space to explore their story, build regulation, and reconnect with themselves. If you’re ready for deeper healing, I’d be honored to support you.

Most people go to therapy when life feels unmanageable, and the pain of not changing outweighs the fear of change. Maybe you're in the deep end with the "not good enough" thoughts, finding yourself awake worrying in the middle of the night, or fighting off the dark rain clouds that keep coming back to hang over your head. Maybe you're overwhelmed with family conflict, handling your kids' meltdowns, feeling disconnected from your spouse, or navigating the stress of balancing your professional life with your personal life.
