I am client-centered and tailor my work to each individual’s needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based practices. I am attuned to how emotional manipulation and self-doubt take root after toxic relationships, and I work closely with clients to rebuild self-esteem and improve boundaries.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been helping children, teenagers, and adults for over 25 years. My primary areas of specialization are anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and coping, and ADHD. I believe we all are doing the best we can with the resources we have available. I provide an open, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to be your authentic self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 16 years of experience supporting both children and adults in school and clinical settings. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I am a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) practitioner.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families for more than 25 years, and I still genuinely love what I do. When someone trusts me enough to share their story, I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive therapy session where we can work together to address the “stuff” of your life, including anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, grief, or a difficult life transition.

My approach with clients is warm, supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe in building genuine therapeutic relationships rooted in trust, empathy, and collaboration.

I work to meet each client where they are while helping them develop practical coping skills, emotional insight, confidence, and resilience. Clients often describe my style as approachable, encouraging, patient, and easy to talk to. I balance empathy with honesty and guidance, helping clients feel supported while also empowering them to make meaningful progress toward their goals.

With a background in mental health, education, and behavioral support, I take an individualized and strengths-based approach to therapy, recognizing that every client’s experiences and needs are unique.

I have been a licensed psychologist for a number of years and have generally provided therapeutic services on an outpatient basis. The majority of my experience has been in providing therapy to individuals who have experienced some form of trauma,

I accept every client for who he or she is. I do not pass judgment, and I am very confidential.
