Licensed Clinical Social Worker

The Mindly Group

I view therapy as a “directed partnership” where we work together to identify the areas of your life that you would like to improve. From there, we can use practical strategies to help you make meaningful changes.

I don’t believe that “this is just the way it is” or that “things can’t get better.” Instead, I believe therapy can help challenge the thoughts and beliefs that may be holding you back from feeling happier and more fulfilled.

You may be experiencing depression, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or work-related stress. Perhaps you’re dealing with several smaller challenges, or you may be going through a particularly dark and difficult time. In either case, therapy can make a meaningful difference.

By developing new perspectives and consistently applying proven strategies, you can begin to change how you think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges. Ultimately, these changes can help you build a life that feels more fulfilling and enriching.

Professional Experience

I have many years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a variety of mental health settings. My professional background includes serving as an Intensive In-Home Team Lead and working in a psychiatric hospital, providing me with experience supporting individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges.

These experiences have strengthened my ability to work with clients experiencing different levels of need and to adapt therapy to each person’s circumstances and goals. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand the challenges they are facing, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, build on their existing strengths, and develop practical strategies for creating meaningful change.
