Are you dealing with unwanted feelings such as sadness, anger, fear, and loneliness? Do you feel these emotions are interfering with your daily activities, relationships, or professional growth? As humans, it’s natural to experience many emotions, some of which can often seem overwhelming, even isolating. Neglecting your emotional well-being and not taking time for self-care can potentially lead to mental and physical complications. In our current times, many individuals are grappling with the weight of managing their emotions, relationships, careers, and overall lives.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been privileged to work with a diverse range of clients. My approach is individualized, starting with an understanding of your current emotional state and the challenges you face. I utilize a strengths-based perspective, psychodynamic theory, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness principles to create a safe therapeutic space.

I am interested in helping individuals uncover their authentic selves. This journey may involve setting boundaries, dealing with loss or life transition, or changing behavioral patterns that hold you back. My ultimate objective is to help you find relief, improve your quality of life, and foster growth. The process of self-discovery can be daunting but can lead to rewarding outcomes like deeper interpersonal connections, compassion, and personal insight. Echoing Marcel Proust’s sentiment, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes,” I invite you to start this journey of discovery. Let’s walk this path of self-discovery and healing together. I accommodate your needs with in-person and virtual appointments tailored to your schedule. Please reach out for a free consultation.
