Licensed Clinical Social Worker

The Mindly Group

I offer supportive, insightful, and interactive therapy combined with practical strategies to help you heal from difficult experiences, navigate life’s transitions, strengthen your sense of self, and improve communication and relationships. Many people believe they should be able to solve their problems on their own, but doing it yourself doesn’t have to mean doing it alone. Sometimes creating meaningful change means bringing in the right resources and support. Together, we can explore what’s getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop strategies to help you move toward the relationships and life you want. I invite you to consider therapy as one of those resources and would be honored to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

I have more than 30 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate emotional, relationship, and life challenges. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, anger management, panic attacks, phobias, eating concerns, childhood trauma, parenting concerns, substance use, problematic internet use, career and life transitions, separation and divorce, LGBTQ+ concerns, and interpersonal and communication difficulties. I also work extensively with couples experiencing relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, rebuilding trust after infidelity, premarital concerns, sexual and intimacy issues, divorce, and co-parenting.
My approach is supportive, insightful, and interactive, incorporating practical strategies to help clients heal from difficult experiences, strengthen their sense of self, improve relationships, and navigate life’s transitions. I believe that working through challenges yourself doesn’t have to mean doing it alone. Therapy can provide additional support, perspective, and resources as you build on your strengths and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
