Hello,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.

As a mother of six, I know that raising a family is a complicated and rewarding experience with moments of immense joy. It can also bring its fair share of stress, grief, and conflict. For the past seven years, I have worked alongside parents and teens to provide the practical, real-world tools needed to navigate these exact challenges.

Hi there! I’m Jeff, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with roots in Med-Surg, Telemetry, and Psychiatric nursing. My journey in healthcare began at the bedside, supporting patients and families through some of their toughest days—an experience that shaped my deeply human, no-judgment approach to mental health care. I’m trained through an accredited PMHNP program and now provide thoughtful, evidence-based care that includes psychiatric evaluations, therapy support, and medication management. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, mood changes, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to listen, support, and help you find real, lasting solutions. Let’s work together to create a plan that fits your life and goals.

Hello, I began my career servicing individuals with my role of a “caseworker” forty years ago in 1986. With a B.A. in Liberal Arts I was able to help with the emotional and concrete needs of many community members. By 1997 I obtained my Masters In Social Work and immediately after my license. As a LCSW practitioner I have engaged and provided agency/personal intakes, crisis intervention, program development and directorship; Despite gaining managerial experience throughout my career, I’ve done individual therapy, family sessions, couples work and group work. The ages ranged five to seventy eight years old. For the last three years I have been engaging in telehealth therapy servicing individuals, from adolescence to adulthood and couples.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.

My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.

I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My goal is to guide clients to improve their interpersonal relationships, overcome life stresses, and feel less depressed and anxious. With 30 years of experience, I view therapy as a partnership where client and therapist work together. If setting goals and having an accountability partner in reaching those goals resonates, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
