Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it’s an important part of your personal journey toward healing and growth. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC), I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families navigate challenges like trauma, addiction, co-occurring diagnoses, and personality disorders.
In therapy, I take a holistic, integrated approach that blends evidence-based techniques—such as EMDR for trauma, and DBT and CBT for managing emotional and behavioral struggles—along with a deep understanding of the complexities of each individual’s experience. My goal is to meet you where you are, and help you develop skills and insight for change.
It’s important that you feel heard and understood, and I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. If you’re ready to take the first step, feel free to reach out for a no-cost initial consultation. I look forward to helping you on your path to recovery, healing, and personal growth.
