Welcome
As a Clinical Supervisor and Therapist in a collaborative private practice setting, I provide both guidance and supervision to a team of professionals who offer specialized counseling services for individuals, couples, families, groups, teens, and young adults. My practice is grounded in empathy, insight, and a commitment to helping clients overcome life’s challenges and rediscover their sense of balance and well-being.
About My Approach
My therapeutic work is rooted in a Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. I focus on each individual's unique needs while helping them challenge and reframe maladaptive thoughts, emotional responses, and behaviors through goal-oriented, practical strategies. I believe therapy should not only help clients heal, but also empower them with tools to move forward with confidence and clarity.
With years of experience in both clinical and educational settings, I bring a sharpened awareness and a deep sense of empathy to my work. Whether a client is navigating emotional distress, life transitions, or long-standing patterns of behavior, I provide a safe, supportive environment for insight, healing, and personal growth.
In addition to my work with clients, my colleagues in the practice bring a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet diverse client needs, including Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Services & Specialties
I offer therapy for a wide range of issues, including:
• Support for Emotional Wellness:
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or major life changes such as divorce, loss, or job challenges, I provide a collaborative and interactive environment where we can explore emotional wounds and develop tools for healing and renewal.
• Academic and School Support for Youth:
With over 20 years of experience in Special Education, I specialize in helping pre-teens, teens, and young adults navigate school-related anxiety, academic challenges, and goal-setting. I offer a supportive and knowledgeable space for students facing learning differences or performance-related stress.
• Addiction Recovery Support:
If you're battling alcohol abuse or other substance-related challenges, I offer therapy informed by clinical training and personal commitment to recovery support. My approach includes psychoeducation, thought pattern restructuring, and the development of healthier coping strategies.
