Welcome to therapy. Thank you for reaching out for some support today and choosing me to be your therapist. In this introduction it is my intention for us to get to begin to know each other a little bit. I am a strengths perspective therapist. I would like to know more about you. I want to know how I can help.

I work with adults and couples dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, and substance use. My goal is to help you make progress and start feeling better through a collaborative, understanding approach.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I work with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

As a mastered clinical psychotherapist I have 9 years of clinical practice, and 30 years of social service support with individuals, families, organizations, and communities to navigate life through grief, trauma, loss, and life transitions. My approach is direct, warm, supportive, holistic, and structured.

I have worked with children in schools for the past 30 years as a school social worker. I have raised 2 kids of my own and have one grandson. I want to work with you as a partner to conquer difficult times in your life. My mission to help others meet their life goals by providing a safe compassionate space for you to grow.

I offer a calm, encouraging space where you can feel supported and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you, knowing how much courage it takes to be open and vulnerable.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who’s been helping people navigate life’s challenges for more than 20 years.

I have a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach and focus on addictions, mental health, and trauma.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or tired of the hamster wheel, you're not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and depression with empathy to help you feel more grounded, confident and connected to the life you want to build.

I understand it takes time to learn and incorporate effective coping skills to begin the healing journey.

I'm a mental health practitioner available to meet with new clients. I see counseling as a shared process with you in charge most often. I'm confident in the techniques I've developed to address mental health conditions, but it's got to make sense to you, to be useful to you, for anything to happen.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.

I support children, adolescents, adults, and families. The focus of my practice is helping clients navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and build the skills needed for lasting emotional well-being.

I am about creating a warm, accepting therapy relationship to create space for you to talk candidly. If you are seeking understanding, I can help you talk through your experiences, thoughts and emotions. If you are seeking change, I can help you identify options to create change that you value.

My approach to therapy is cognitive-behavioral, transactional, and hypnotherapy as required by specific cases and clientele. My focus is on providing individual treatment to people experiencing trauma, PTSD, gender identity issues, depression, anxiety, and general wellness concerns.

I work with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, stress, and emotions that get in the way of their daily activities of living. Approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), have been proven to be helpful.

I'm ready to collaborate with you on a path to mental well-being.
