Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·PhD, LCSWAbout
Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, past experiences, an eating disorder, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. Reaching out for support is a meaningful step, and I’m glad you’re here. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you and move toward the life you want to live. Therapy with me is collaborative—you are the expert on your own experience, and we work together at your pace. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and attentive. I listen deeply and strive to understand your world from your perspective. Sessions are guided by curiosity, respect, and honesty. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel: -Seen and heard -Accepted exactly as you are -Empowered to make choices aligned with your values Together, we'll focus not just on reducing distress, but on building insight, resilience, and self-trust. If you're feeling ready-or even just curious-I'd be honored to connect with you and explore how we might work together to support you. **Specialties:** For clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders, therapy with me is a blend of insight, compassion, and evidence-based strategies. We'll work together to identify the root causes of your distress, calm the body's stress response, and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck. **Credentials & Experience:** I have over 20 years of practice experience helping teens, adults, and families. I am also a national presenter and a published author and researcher on numerous family issues.
"My preferred treatment approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques. I integrate these methods to help clients gain insight, process past experiences, and develop practical tools for emotional balance and long-term resilience."
