About me

I truly believe that self awareness and acceptance are the building blocks for creating meaningful and lasting change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working as a therapist, behavioral coach, and medical social worker, I have witnessed people overcome great obstacles and reach their goals.

I have worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, OCD, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, pain and living with chronic health issues. I have completed multiple specialized training programs required for Post-Graduate Certifications as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional; Certified Family Trauma Professional; Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Professional; with a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): Evidence-based Insomnia Interventions for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain; and a Certificate in John and Julie Gottman's "10 Core Principles for Effective Couples Therapy."

My counseling style is supportive, interactive and motivational. I offer a non-judgmental approach that combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral, acceptance based, and solution focused strategies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, while encouraging the areas to observe and the skills to practice.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards self improvement, and I applaud you for being on this journey. I am here to support and empower you. One of my mindful mantras I like to share: "I accept, therefore I am. I let go, therefore I grow. I believe, therefore I can."

I look forward to working with you and being your guide to improved wellness and mental strength.

In such a short time, Lenora has helped me in more ways I have never thought could be possible. She has listened and underground my points of view and has helped me with the things I need to work on. My anxiety has improved and I look forward to speaking with her! She makes me feel so comfortable and I never feel judged for talking about what I am going through and what I am feeling. I am so beyond thankful I decided to go with BetterHelp and for being matched with Lenora.

I never felt comfortable with the talking to a counselor before this, Lenora has helped me deal with my heartbreak and anxiety. She has given me challenges that have been really good for me as well to help me grow during all of this uncertain time.

Lenora was everything I needed when I didn't know I needed it. She gave me a gentle nudge in the right direction everytime I came to her with a problem. She was very supportive and never judged! I am very grateful for her kind words and reassurance. I wasn't in a great place with my anxiety and became depressed because of it. She helped me transform into a healthier and happier version of myself that I thought couldn't exist.
