I am a retired clinical social worker with 35 year of counseling experience. The last ten years I worked for the Veteran's Administration and some of my therapy clients were veterans with PTSD from severe trauma. I also have worked with women who have had a history of trauma and need assistance to regain control of their lives. I have seen individuals with less serious problems who need help working through daily life issues and need support through difficult times. Because I have worked with a vulnerable group of individuals and also because I feel therapy is a collaborative effort I see myself working in a partnership with my clients to assist them in solving their problems without them feeling like a "patient" who is told what they need to do.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, stress, anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, trauma-related concerns, and personal growth. My background includes hospital, behavioral health, home health, hospice, case management, and community-based care, which has shaped my ability to support people from a whole-person perspective. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and grounded. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be honest, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with yourself without judgment. I often integrate mindfulness, nervous system awareness, strengths-based support, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotional regulation tools, and reflective conversation to help clients build clarity, confidence, and healthier coping patterns. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Some sessions may focus on processing emotions, while others may focus on practical tools, boundaries, communication, self-worth, or creating a plan for moving forward. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building a life that feels more peaceful, intentional, and aligned. I especially enjoy working with people who are navigating burnout, major life changes, identity exploration, relationship stress, caregiving stress, grief, and the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” Together, we can create space for healing, self-understanding, and meaningful change. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, but you do not have to figure everything out alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey.
