What should a new client know about working with you?

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. My postgraduate training in Family Systems and Attachment Theory shapes a collaborative, evidence-based approach that blends attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. My style is warm, engaged, and direct—I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and offer practical feedback. Clients often describe our sessions as both grounding and empowering: a place to slow down, understand what’s happening inside, and take clear steps toward healing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I specialize in working with people facing anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and substance use challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the next step. Through our conversations, we identify underlying causes of distress, strengthen coping strategies, and build the tools needed to live with greater purpose and connection. Therapy is not about perfection—it’s about growth, insight, and emotional freedom. Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I’ll meet you where you are, at your own pace, with compassion and respect for your story.
