About My Clients

My clients are adults and couples who want relief from anxiety, depression, or stress in relationships. Many are working through past hurts, adjusting to new seasons of life, or learning how to set healthier boundaries. If you’re ready to explore what’s getting in the way and move toward greater peace and connection, I’d love to walk alongside you.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and the Gottman Method (Level 2). My experience spans working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Clients often share that my style feels both supportive and direct. I help you feel understood while also guiding you toward growth. With EMDR, I support clients in processing past trauma so they can feel more grounded and less triggered by old wounds. With couples, I use Gottman Method tools to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. Whether you’re seeking to reduce stress, improve self-esteem, or change long-standing patterns in relationships, I’ll work with you to identify what matters most and create practical steps toward the life and relationships you want.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At the heart of my work is a belief in honesty, authenticity, and the healing power of healthy relationships. I was raised in a difficult home environment, which gives me a deep respect for resilience and the courage it takes to seek support. I’ve been married for over 20 years and know that relationships take intention, care, and repair. I value inclusivity and affirming spaces for all, and I welcome clients of diverse backgrounds, identities, and beliefs. I’m passionate about breaking cycles of abuse, supporting mental health awareness, and helping people live with more joy, peace, and connection. Outside of therapy, I enjoy time with family, creative projects, and travel--reminders that growth and healing also come from play and rest.
