Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 25 days ago

As a dedicated mental health professional, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of depression, anxiety, abandonment issues, and relationship challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the human experience.

Who I Work With: I work with women who often feel overwhelmed by persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fear of abandonment. Many of my clients struggle with negative self-perceptions and have difficulty forming or maintaining healthy relationships. They may feel isolated, trapped in cycles of worry, and unsure of how to break free from these patterns.

What to Expect: In our sessions, you will find a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we will work on developing effective coping strategies, improving self-esteem, and building healthier relationship dynamics. I utilize evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, tailored to your unique needs.

My Philosophy: I believe that healing begins with understanding and acceptance. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your narrative, foster resilience, and create meaningful connections in your life. Whether you’re seeking to manage anxiety, process past trauma, or improve your relationships, I’m here to support you on your journey toward emotional well-being.
