I believe in meeting you exactly where you are in your journey honoring your unique experiences and challenges, while helping you navigate current obstacles with compassion and understanding. My dedication is rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for resilience and transformation, it is my privilege to guide and support you toward a greater well-being. I’m passionate about helping people grow, heal, and feel empowered, kind of like a personal trainer for the mind and heart, but without the whistle or the gym membership fees! My aim is to create a safe and supportive space where you can truly feel seen and heard
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience working with both children and adults, I am deeply committed to fostering growth and healing in a judgement free space. Through collaborative and client-centered therapy, I strive to empower those I work with to discover their strengths, build coping skills, and foster lasting change.
My work is driven by a passion for healing and a commitment to walking alongside you as you reclaim your life and potential. I want to first commend you for even being here. You are courageous for even taking the first step to acknowledge that maybe talking to someone may help. Take a deep breath and let’s start this journey together !

I work with clients who may be struggling to thrive based on obstacles concerning their mental and emotional well being. During our initial sessions, we will start to build rapport and trust to discuss client's needs. We will collaborate to create a treatment plan to set realistic goals to meet the clients' unique concerns. Many clients feel some sort of relief after the first few sessions.

"I often use Trauma Informed - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and ways to help. We will look at how thoughts affect emotions and experiences and how trauma impacts relationships and attachment styles. During treatment, I'll help you learn ways to transform your negative thought distortions to relieve symptoms and begin a new journey.

Groups

Finding focus together: Adult ADHD

Hosted by
Carlene A Graham

Living with adult ADHD can feel like juggling a dozen tabs open in your brain. It can be exhausting, confusing, and lonely. This group is a space where you don’t have to explain or apologize. Healing can happen in connection, and there’s real power in realizing you’re not too much or behind. You’re human, with a nervous system that works a little differently. We’ll explore practical tools and self-compassion. You’re welcome exactly as you are, messy thoughts, big feelings, unfinished to-do lists and all. Message me if interested

Life In Your Lane: Neurodivergent Wellness Group

Hosted by
Carlene A Graham

This is a space where your brain can finally exhale. Have you ever been told to “just focus,” “try harder,” or “calm down” (and wanted to scream internally). It can be exhausting to move through a world that wasn’t built with you in mind. This group is a judgment-free space to laugh, vent, learn skills, and make sense of the chaos together. Come as you are: late, curious, overwhelmed, brilliant, or all of the above. Wellness here isn’t about perfection, it’s about being human, together.
