Hi! I'm Zoe. I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping teens and adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Using CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide a supportive space where clients can process experiences, manage mood, and build resilience. My goal is to help each person feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to build healthy relationships with others, themselves, and food.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll start by discussing your life history and getting a clear picture of what you’d like to work through in therapy. Each person heals at their own pace, so I’ll never push you to discuss anything you’re not comfortable with. Based on what we cover, I’ll recommend either weekly or twice-weekly sessions to provide the level of support that best meets your needs and symptom severity.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
You’ll feel seen, heard, and understood when working with me. I’m dedicated to validating your unique struggles and offering support in a way that makes sense to you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, mood swings, relationship challenges, chronic pain, and adjusting to life after a major injury. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, understanding space where you can explore what’s really going on. With years of experience working with trauma survivors, I understand how hard it can feel to find stability and self-acceptance when you’ve faced complex challenges, whether they stem from emotional wounds or physical limitations. Together, we’ll use tools like CBT and DBT to help manage intense emotions, improve self-esteem, and build healthier connections with others. If you’re working through past trauma or feel weighed down by painful memories, EMDR can help you process those experiences in an empowering way, so you can move forward with confidence. For those adjusting to life after injury or managing chronic pain, I provide support in fostering resilience, adapting to changes, and finding new ways to thrive. My goal is to support you in building a fulfilling life by managing your mood, nurturing positive relationships with others, and reconnecting with yourself. Whether you're healing emotional scars or navigating the challenges of physical recovery, I’m here to help you take meaningful steps toward the life you deserve.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Individual DBT skills training is a collaborative process where you and I work together to explore and practice specific DBT skills that are most relevant to your life. Whether you’re struggling with regulating your emotions, communicating effectively in relationships, or coping with distressing situations, I will provide guidance and support as you develop and integrate these skills into your daily life.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR utilizes bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, hand tapping, or auditory tones, to facilitate the brain’s natural healing process and alleviate emotional distress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It operates on the principle that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, and by changing our thought patterns, we can change how we feel and act.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy emphasizes individual potential, personal growth, and self-awareness. It encourages clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a non-judgmental, empathetic environment, helping them achieve self-acceptance and fulfillment. This approach, often associated with Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, believes that people are inherently good and capable of making positive choices. The therapist acts as a guide, fostering a supportive relationship where clients can discover their true selves, gain insight into their emotions, and realize their full potential for personal growth and self-actualization.
