New clients continue care with this provider
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s most challenging moments. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique journey. I hope to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you will feel safe to explore what’s holding you back and supported as you work toward healing and growth. I blend practical, evidence-informed strategies—like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care—with a relational and strengths-based focus, always honoring your values and voice in the process. Whether we’re processing trauma, managing anxiety, or navigating life transitions, our work together is guided by insight, intention, and steady progress toward a more connected version of your true self. I’ve established a culturally responsive and ethically grounded practice, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for clients from all backgrounds. Therapy with me is not just about reducing symptoms—it’s about finding clarity, building courage, and creating a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to focus on in therapy. There’s no pressure to have all the answers—we’ll move at your pace while beginning to set clear, supportive goals. My hope is that you leave the session feeling heard, supported, and just a little bit lighter—knowing you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach blends warmth, practicality, and evidence-based strategies to support meaningful, lasting change. I integrate positive psychology to nurture hope and resilience, use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and mindfulness skills. At the heart of our work is a focus on empowerment—helping you develop a personalized toolkit for mental wellness that supports you long after our sessions end.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support teens, adults, and older adults who are navigating life transitions, carrying the weight of past trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or disconnection. I have a strong foundation in working with military personnel and their families. I welcome any couples who are ready to explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re seeking more peace, stronger relationships, or a deeper connection to your true self, I’m here to support your path forward with warmth, respect, and practical tools.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and practice tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and create more effective, supportive responses. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that empowers you to make meaningful, lasting change.
Compassion Focused
I use a compassion-focused therapy approach to help you develop a kinder, more understanding relationship with yourself. Many of us carry deep self-criticism or shame, especially when we’re struggling. Compassion-focused therapy helps us soften that inner harshness and build emotional strength by activating your natural capacity for care, courage, and connection.
Couples Counseling
In couples therapy, I create a supportive space where both partners can feel heard and understood. We work together to identify patterns of disconnection, improve communication, and rebuild trust. My goal is to help you move from conflict or distance toward deeper connection, clarity, and shared goals.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and respond to stress more effectively. We focus on practical skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers tools for finding balance—between acceptance and change—so you can move forward with more stability and self-control.
Strength-Based
In our work together, I focus on uncovering and building upon your existing strengths and core values. Rather than only looking at what's "wrong," we explore what matters most to you and what’s already working. This approach helps guide meaningful choices, foster resilience, and create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
