Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma, negative thought/behavioral patterns, or low mood, it can be overwhelming! The good news is you don’t have to face it alone, I am here to help support you on your journey. I'm also passionate about working with children. Through play therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices, I engage children in meaningful ways that resonate with their experiences and emotions. In addition, working closely with caregivers during this process to ensure a holistic approach to care is important to me.
As a clinical social worker for 23 years (with a recent return to practice after staying home to raise my four children), I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, understanding, and practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges. My therapy style is eclectic, as I feel many modalities work well together to treat the whole person.
My focus is on building a strong rapport while helping you gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but it’s also a powerful act of courage and self-compassion. If you are ready, please reach out, I would be honored to work together to create meaningful and lasting change.
