Seeking therapy is a powerful step toward healing, and I’m here to support you on that journey. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in working with individuals (ages 10 and up) and families navigating grief, trauma, addictions, anxiety, and depression. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need a space to process life’s challenges, I provide a safe, down-to-earth environment where we can work together to create real change.
I offer individual counseling as well as family therapy. I have been married for nearly 10 years and my husband and I have a blended family. Strengthening, and keeping families together as well as breaking generational curses is always my goal whenever a family comes to my office.
At Kirkwood Therapy we believe in meeting people we understand that life's challenges can be overwhelming at times. We are here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, and supported. Together, we will work towards healing, growth, and the brighter future you deserve.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better
