For over ten years, I have helped individuals navigate the emotional and practical challenges of aging, disability, and medical issues. As an LCSW, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strength-based approach to foster resilience, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. My goal is to create a supportive and empowering space where you feel heard and understood. Whether you're adjusting to life changes, coping with chronic illness, or seeking emotional support, I am here to help.
Therapy from the convenience of your home
I provide compassionate care, advocacy, and support to seniors and individuals with disabilities facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I help clients reframe negative thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build resilience during life transitions.
I am deeply honored to dedicate my life’s work to supporting individuals navigating the challenges of aging, pain, and disability. If you’re facing these struggles, please reach out—I would love to explore how I can help.
