I have 40 years experience in the mental health field in multiple roles, I believe listening and believing in the person is the most important way to practice therapy.
During my time as a clinical social worker, I've treated individuals with many different ages, cultures, and mental health diagnoses. My current area of expertise is depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, faith transitions, body-image challenges, women’s issues, and adjustment disorders. I believe that many of life’s challenges can be relieved through connecting with the right therapist.
I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the understanding that every person’s story is unique. I work with clients to create a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore challenges, build insight, and develop practical tools for growth and healing.
.I often support clients who are experiencing stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we work to identify strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change — not just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of balance and purpose.
One of my core strengths as a therapist is my ability to build strong therapeutic relationships. Clients often describe me as approachable, supportive, and grounded. I value honesty, collaboration, and empowering clients to become active participants in their own healing process.
Whether you are new to therapy or returning after time away, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, respected, and hopeful as we work together toward the life you want.
Three ideas are at the heart of my work: You are not the problem; the problem is the problem; the problem is not yours alone to solve. Therapy with me is a space for you to explore and be affirmed in your identity, while understanding the ways you came to be and are still becoming.
