I enjoy working with young adults navigating their 20's and 30's as well as older adults, including those with Medicare. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you find your footing while dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, health changes, or major life transitions. With more than 30 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is collaborative and practical. I take a direct, warm approach, using a bit of humor to ease tough conversations. I apply cognitive behavioral therapy to reshape thought patterns and leverage clients' strengths, and I use motivational interviewing to support lasting change.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what's bringing you here, and what you'd like to see change. I'll answer any questions you have about therapy. I keep things relaxed and we'll work together to identify goals.
I offer a soft space , but I ask thoughtful questions and gently challenge when It helps. Clients often appreciate that I balance professionalism with warmth and appropriate humor, making tough conversations more comfortable.
Teens through older adults who want practical strategies and a therapist who listens with patience, but isn't afraid to offer direct feedback. Often dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, life changes or self-esteem. I'm direct when helpful, but always collaborative. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build resilience, and create lasting, meaningful change. Together we'll build on your strengths and move forward with confidence.
I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together we'll identify patterns that aren't working, and find tools you can use in everyday life.
I use motivational interviewing to help clients discover their own motivation for change. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop realistic goals that fit your values.
