Hello, my name is Holly. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience dedicated to empowering clients be the best version of themselves. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and collaborative using a strengths-based, client centered approach. My clinical experience includes working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have extensive training in crisis counseling in the Emergency Department and inpatient psychiatric units. I have worked in domestic violence and provided community-based therapy to children and families. I enjoy working with new mothers, caregivers, and those working through grief and loss.
It is important for me to acknowledge that making an appointment with a new therapist and showing up is a big step. Trying new things can be scary and it is my goal to create a calm and supportive space. You can expect to be heard and given the opportunity to express your goals and hopes for the future. I normally schedule my session for 60 minutes, but if you are looking for a shorter session time, please let me know and I can work with your schedule.
My biggest strength is the ability to listen to my clients with compassion. While I might have had a similar experience, or not at all, how we interpret situations is different and unique to everyone. I am experienced in post-partum depression, trauma, abuse, domestic violence, crisis management, grief, anger management , self-esteem, mood disorders , anxiety and panic , Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) , self-harm, compassion fatigue, workplace issues

Holly is everything you want in a therapist. Great listener, kind, patient, insightful and collaborative. She helps you look at things in a different way, and helps you to find solutions. My stress has been much more manageable since seeing her. Thanks Holly!
