LCSW, 27 years of experience
I'm glad you found your way to my page. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or stress, I want to empower you to reshape your thoughts, behaviors and emotions in order to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. I'll provide a safe space for you to explore what it is that is holding you back, discover new perspectives, and develop a sense of self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques are the cornerstones of my practice, and I will tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. I know that seeking therapy can feel scary, but know that you are making the right decision.
At out first session together, I will introduce myself, share my background, and explain my therapeutic approach. Then, we will focus on your reasons for seeking therapy, your main concerns, and any specific issues you want to address. Together, we will then create some goals that you would like to work towards in sessions.
In my career as a therapist, for the past 25 years, I have committed myself to fostering emotional wellness and empowering individuals to live fulfilling lives. All individuals deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and I am proud to provide that space.

Using CBT, I help clients to identify unhelpful thought patterns, some of which are automatic, and then to replace these thoughts with more balanced and realistic thinking.
Using SFBT, I help clients focus on the present and the future rather than the past. This includes helping client tap into their strengths and resources to make positive changes and to reach their goals.
