Hello and welcome! Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained can make even everyday life feel exhausting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or navigating a major life transition, you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry everything by yourself. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience helping individuals work through emotional and life challenges. Together, we’ll focus on developing coping skills and meaningful tools that support real, lasting change. I am here to support you.
Through extensive training and experience across multiple therapy approaches, I have helped clients address a wide range of mental health concerns. I prioritize understanding your unique experiences and concerns to tailor treatment to your individual needs. Using a person-centered approach, I integrate techniques from CBT, DBT, EFT and Gottman therapies.
I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be honest, feel understood, and begin making meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify what’s been holding you back and develop practical, evidence-based tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Feel free to reach out for a free 15 min consultation to discuss how I can help.
