I provide a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences without judgment while gaining practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.

Hello, My name is Pam, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been working in the field of mental health in various roles for about 10 years now. I have done individual, group and family/systemic therapy and I have worked as a Clinical Director in a community mental health agency. Most recently, I've worked in a correctional setting. My priority in treatment is establishing a strong foundation of trust with my clients. I am laid back and relatable in many ways, and I tend to work from a strengths-based perspective. YOU are the expert on your life and we will build off of inherent strengths and skills you already possess.

I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook. If you are someone who is ready to engage honestly and wants a clinician who will meet you with both expertise and genuine care, please reach out.

I'm now excited to bring this experience to my own private practice, where I can focus on providing thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to each individual and family. In my free time, I enjoy singing, playing golf, going out to eat, and spending time with my fiancé and 4-year-old rescue chihuahua-mix, Nugget.

Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. I bring a warm, open, and deeply caring presence to our sessions, ensuring you feel completely safe and heard from day one. With nine years of experience as a mental health therapist, I specialize in translating your insights into real, actionable growth. Steering the complexities of adulthood can feel very challenging, especially when constantly battling anxiety, depression, or the executive function of ADHD. My therapeutic style is solution-based, meaning we won't just talk about problems; we will actively collaborate to build practical tools, shift stuck mindsets, and create the positive changes you want to see in your daily life. Let's work together to unlock your strengths and move you forward.
