Who I am as a Therapist

When life feels overwhelming, please know that you do not have to carry the weight alone. The human journey includes beautiful moments of hope and joy, but it also brings unexpected seasons of suffering, grief, and pain. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience, my role is to walk beside you through those challenges, providing a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space where you can heal.

In our sessions, I practice deep, compassionate listening to understand where you have been, so we can uncover your innate power to grow and move forward. Together, we will collaborate on a personalized care plan to address your specific goals and build practical, lifelong tools.

Over more than two decades, I have walked with diverse individuals navigating mental health struggles, addiction, and deep loss—including 17 years specialized in hospice and grief care. To offer you the gentlest and most effective paths to healing, I integrate multiple modalities into my practice including: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma, Hypnotherapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems). ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

I am here to help you process old patterns and step into a new, empowered chapter. Let’s navigate this path together.

“We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” —Virginia Satir
