As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate emotional challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story and resilience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues across the lifespan—from pre-teen (over age 11) to older adults. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact their mood, behavior, and relationships. To support holistic healing, I integrate mindfulness-based strategies that enhance emotional awareness and regulation, along with trauma-focused care that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment.
Our initial session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation for our work together. This session will primarily focus on gathering information about your history, experiences, and current concerns. It’s also a space for you to ask any questions you may have and to begin identifying your goals for therapy. My aim is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered from the very beginning.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring depth, clinical insight, and compassion to each session. I specialize in helping individuals work through challenges using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while integrating mindfulness and trauma-informed care to support holistic healing. My approach is both structured and flexible—tailored to meet each client where they are—while empowering them to build resilience, gain clarity, and move toward lasting emotional well-being.
I specialize in helping persons struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem, that are seeking support to better understand their emotions, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being. I understand the importance of providing a safe, supportive space where my clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Whether my clients are facing life transitions, unresolved emotional wounds, or daily stressors, I’m passionate about assisting them on their path towards growth and lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based techniques, and Trauma-Informed Care to support lasting, meaningful change. In our initial sessions, we’ll work together to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress. This process helps create greater self-awareness, resilience, and a more empowered sense of self.

Nelsy was knowledgable, easy to talk to, and relatable. She listened while asking insightful and relevant questions in order to find the best therapeutic approach. I immediately felt comfortable opening up to her, and knew minutes into the session that this would be a good fit.

Nelsy is very warm and understanding, while still maintaining a professional relationship. I can talk to her about any topic without any feelings of judgment or discomfort. I feel like my therapy sessions with her have really helped me grow as a person!
