About My Clients

I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship struggles. My ideal clients are those ready to take an active role in their healing journey, seeking a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to build resilience and make lasting change. Whether you're dealing with mental health issues, navigating life transitions, or looking for support in managing stress, I’m here to help you achieve your goals and regain control of your life.

My Background and Approach

With over 23 years of experience as a social worker, nurse, and case manager, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, having worked in diverse settings, including correctional care and complex case management. My background allows me to understand the complexities of mental health and wellness from multiple angles, ensuring a comprehensive approach to treatment. I specialize in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and stress-related issues. I’m skilled in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. My broad experience enables me to tailor treatment plans to each client’s needs, empowering you to make meaningful changes, build resilience, and overcome life’s challenges with confidence and support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life’s messy, and so are you—let’s figure it out. My goal? It is to help you understand your quirks, strengths, and what keeps tripping you up so you can take charge of your story. There are no quick fixes or tossing pills here; we’re diving into your brilliant, chaotic brain. Power suit or grandma’s muumuu? It doesn’t matter—we’re doing the work. DBT, humor, coloring books—you name it, we’ll use it. Everything’s just talk until it’s not, right? We’ll tackle the elephant in the room, devise a plan, and make it happen. And if your complex OCD tendencies are screaming for control—tell them to take a day off. It’s time to build a life rooted in self-compassion, kindness, and a dash of irreverence. LET’S GO!
