Are you looking for ways to process trauma? I am now providing EMDR therapy to help with that. Would you like to find balance in your life, stop feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, or feel confident facing challenges that seem insurmountable? I'm here to help. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience, I specialize in guiding adults and adolescents toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. My work centers on helping you develop effective coping strategies to manage life's stresses, whether it's overcoming anxiety, navigating depression, or recovering from trauma.
Over the past 13 years, my experience in educational settings has provided me with unique insights into the pressures faced by students, parents, and educators. I understand the complexities of these environments and offer support that is both empathetic and practical. I also use 3 therapy dogs in my practice to provide additional comfort and support.
My therapeutic approach is client-focused, relaxed, and compassionate. I believe in creating a comfortable space where you can express yourself freely and work at a pace that suits you. Together, we'll explore your challenges and build the resilience you need to achieve your goals.
