About My Clients
I work with adults who are stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant mental noise. Most have spent years trying to understand why they think, feel, and react the way they do. What they can’t figure out is why that understanding hasn’t changed anything. Whether the issue is ADHD, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, the underlying thread is often the same: somewhere along the way, they stopped trusting themselves.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed clinical social worker with nearly twenty years of experience across private practice, community mental health, and psychiatric emergency care. Working with people on some of the hardest days of their lives has taught me how to stay calm, listen closely, and get to the point without losing warmth. My approach is active, direct, and collaborative. I won’t sit silently while you try to solve everything alone. We’ll look at what keeps repeating, where it came from, and what happens right before you fall back into the same pattern. I draw from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and parts-based work, but I don’t force people into a rigid formula. I also have ADHD and anxiety. That doesn’t mean I assume your experience is the same as mine. It does mean I understand that procrastination, overwhelm, shutdown, and inconsistency aren’t character flaws—and that knowing exactly what you should do doesn’t always make it easier to do it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to spend your energy convincing someone that your experience is real. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, curious, and challenged without feeling judged. As a social worker, I understand that our lives are shaped by both personal experiences and the systems we live in. I value compassion, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique identity and background. I welcome clients of all races, cultures, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, and I’m committed to providing care that is affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive. I also believe people are far more adaptable than they give themselves credit for. The patterns that once helped you survive don’t have to define the rest of your life. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about understanding yourself well enough to stop fighting your own mind and start trusting yourself again.
