I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. I'm dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with understanding, compassion and practical strategies. I have 20+ years of professional experience, most recently in healthcare, private therapy practice and private coaching. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and collaboration.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m here to make that process as comfortable as possible. In our first session together, we’ll take time to get to know each other, discuss the process and explore your goals. I’ll do my best to make you feel supported every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing and growth, I’m here to guide you through the process. I look forward to working with you!
I believe that everyone has the inherent capacity for growth and healing, and my role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work towards your individual, personalized goals. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, tailored to best meet your needs.
I work with adults of all ages. Whether you're dealing with specific challenges or just want a safe space to talk, my goal is to provide you with tools, insight, and encouragement to help you move forward.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with CBT spans several years and includes work with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and stress-related conditions.
Compassion Focused
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is an approach I integrate into my practice, particularly when working with clients who struggle with high levels of shame, self-criticism, or a harsh internal voice.
Eclectic
Eclectic Therapy is a flexible and integrative approach that I regularly use in my clinical work. Rather than adhering strictly to a single theoretical model, I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited approach that I incorporate into my practice, especially when working with clients experiencing mood disorders, grief, role transitions, or interpersonal conflict. My experience with IPT has shown it to be an effective method for helping clients understand how their relationships and communication patterns impact their emotional well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that I incorporate regularly in my clinical work, particularly when clients are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. My experience with SFT has shown it to be highly effective for short-term work and for helping clients tap into their own resilience and resourcefulness.
