I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I am committed to offering kind, compassionate, culturally responsive, and practical support to all of my clients as they navigate the challenges of daily life. The goal is to help you achieve positive, healthy healing and lasting change through evidence-based practices and responsive and practical support.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, you can expect a safe, welcoming, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share your feelings, challenges, and concerns. We will start by discussing what brought you to therapy at this time, as well as any specific issues or goals you may have. I will ask questions designed to better understand your background, current situation, and what you are hoping to achieve during our time together. The initial session is also a time for you to ask any questions about therapy and the process of our work together. Our main goal during the first session is to begin building a trusting relationship and gain a clear understanding of how together we can begin your journey toward positive change and healing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Through the use of individual sessions with clients who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, I utilize unconditional positive regard and tailor each session to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring that sessions are age-appropriate and effective. Ensuring a safe, warm, and supportive environment is a fundamental aspect of my therapeutic practice. My aim is always to make certain that my clients feel safe, respected, valued and heard. This supportive atmosphere provides the platform for developing healthy coping strategies, building resilience, developing a strong sense of empowerment, and creating positive change.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have a passion for working with people who are disenfranchised by societal expectations and norms, and I have consistently been a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, as well as the undervalued and frequently overlooked elderly population.
