My work as a therapist centers on adults and older adults who are moving through a life transition and want a steadier footing while they do it. I've practiced across a range of settings over the years, from telehealth and community health systems to family healing centers and correctional facilities, and that mix has taught me to sit with people wherever they actually are rather than where a treatment manual expects them to be.

I start with a thorough diagnostic assessment because I want to understand your history, your concerns, and what you're hoping to change before we settle on any plan. From there we build it together, and I'll adjust it as I get to know you. My approach is recovery-based, which for me means combining supportive talk therapy with ongoing check-ins on how you're doing and honest conversation about what's working and what isn't. I value open communication, and I'd rather you tell me when something feels off than nod along.

Early sessions tend to feel like a real conversation. I ask questions, I listen closely, and I try to make it clear that being heard and respected here isn't conditional on having your life figured out. I speak both English and Turkish, if that makes talking feel more natural for you.

Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

Most of my work as a therapist comes out of behavioral medicine, where I've spent a lot of time at the point that physical health and mental health meet. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I'm often working with people managing depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, or relationship difficulties, sometimes all at once. I care about reaching people in underserved communities who haven't always had access to this kind of support.

My approach centers on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A lot of what we do together is noticing patterns that get in the way, the ones quietly keeping you from better health, and then figuring out whether we can challenge them, reframe them, or replace them with something that actually works for you. I like to get underneath the behavior to the need it's trying to meet, because that's usually where lasting change starts. Sessions with me tend to be practical and collaborative; expect to do some honest looking at what's happening and why, and to leave with a clearer sense of the next step. When medication has a role, it's one part of a fuller plan, never the whole story.

What I'm really after is helping you grow into a version of yourself that feels more like you.

There's no rush to any of this. Reach out when the timing feels right for you, and we'll take it from there.

I'm a therapist specializing in talk therapy for adults, and much of what I do is help people move forward rather than just vent about what's weighing on them. If you've been circling the same feelings for a while and want to actually get somewhere with them, that's the kind of work I do well. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trained in EMDR, and I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, so I'm comfortable sitting with both the present stress in front of you and the deeper patterns underneath it.

I think of therapy as a partnership, not something being done to you. That means I'll offer emotional support, but I'll also gently challenge you when I think it will help you grow. We start with a thorough intake so I understand your history, what's going on now, and what you actually want to change, and from there I build a flexible plan shaped around you rather than a formula. Early sessions tend to be more about getting the full picture than fixing anything on the spot, and you don't need to arrive with everything figured out.

I blend insight-oriented therapy with EMDR when it fits, and I adjust the pace to what feels workable for you. I'm licensed in California, Kentucky, and Indiana. When you're ready to start, get in touch and we'll take it from there.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on helping adults and older adults build practical, healthy coping skills through talk therapy. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Therapy in 2013, and I started my career in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. That's where I learned to work with people in genuinely difficult moments and to start from where someone actually is, not where a treatment plan says they should be. From there I moved into crisis centers and outpatient work, which shaped how I think about steady, ongoing support.

I care a lot about open communication. In our first session, I want to really understand your history, what's brought you in, and what you're hoping to get out of this, before I suggest anything. From there we set clear, meaningful goals together, and I build a plan around what matters to you rather than a one-size approach. I check in as we go to make sure the work still lines up with what you came for.

My sessions tend to be conversational and grounded. You can expect me to listen closely, ask questions, and be honest with you about what I'm noticing. I want you to feel heard and respected, and comfortable enough to say the things that are hard to say out loud.

If you're looking for a therapist who'll take your goals seriously and work alongside you, reach out and let's talk.

I'm a marriage and family therapist, and most of what I see is people navigating the emotional and relational challenges that come up in their lives, whether they're working through things on their own, as a couple, or as a family. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliance Graduate School of Counseling in Nyack, New York, and that relational lens shapes how I understand almost everything a person brings to me. Nobody arrives with the exact same story, so I don't treat anyone as though they do.

I care a lot about trust and respect being present from the start, because I don't think real work happens without them. Our first session is mostly about getting a full picture of your background, what's bringing you in, and where you'd like to end up. From there, we build a plan together that actually fits your life rather than a generic version of it. I try to keep things collaborative throughout, checking in as we go and adjusting when something isn't working for you.

What matters to me is that you feel genuinely heard, not processed. I'd rather move at a pace that lets you feel steady than rush toward a milestone that doesn't mean anything to you.

Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist who has spent years working across outpatient and in-home family settings, and much of that work has moved to telehealth. I see adults and older adults who are contending with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, the emotional weight of chronic illness, or family conflict that has worn down the people involved. Before this, I taught social work, and that instinct toward mentorship and growth still shapes how I sit with people: I want you to leave with something you can actually use.

My style is compassionate but direct. I'll support you, and I'll also offer a gentle challenge when I think it will move things forward. I start by understanding your story, your strengths, and what you're hoping to change, then we build a treatment plan around your goals rather than a generic one. Sessions tend to have a rhythm: we check in, work on a concrete skill, and look at how things have actually gone since we last spoke. I draw on CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, always through a strengths-based, culturally aware lens, and I adjust the goals as your life shifts.

What matters most to me is open, honest communication, so you feel understood rather than managed. If you're ready to work on something and want a partner who will be both steady and straight with you, the first step is simply a conversation, and we'll figure out the path together from there.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see spans the full arc of a life. Over the years I've worked across a range of outpatient settings with people of many ages, from teenagers navigating the noise of adolescence to adults in the thick of midlife, to older folks in their sixties and beyond who are still doing the real work of understanding themselves. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a second Master's in Philosophy, and I'm currently working toward a PhD in Human and Social Services, so questions about how people make meaning tend to follow me into the room.

Early sessions with me move at an unhurried pace. I take my time getting to know you as a whole person, not just the concern that brought you in, and I ask enough questions to actually understand what's going on before we settle on any direction. I care about building genuine rapport first; trust isn't something I expect on day one. From there, we shape a path forward together, one that fits your particular life rather than a generic plan applied to you.

Whatever you bring, I want you to feel heard, respected, and taken seriously. The first step is simply talking things through and getting a clear picture of where you are; the rest we figure out as we go.

I'm a therapist, and I've spent 14 years working across a lot of different settings, from elementary school classrooms to inpatient and outpatient care, healthcare teams, and case management. That range shapes how I sit with people now. I see adults and older adults who are working through whatever brought them to therapy at this point in their lives, whether that's something recent or something they've been carrying for a while.

My approach is eclectic and built around the person in front of me rather than a formula. Depending on what fits, I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused and person-centered work. What matters more than the method, though, is trust, and I don't rush that part. The first session is relaxed. We spend it getting to know each other, talking through what's going on, what you're concerned about, and what you'd actually like to be different. From there we move at a comfortable pace, paying attention to your strengths and laying a foundation we can build on.

I think therapy works best when it's genuinely collaborative, so I'll check in with you about direction rather than deciding it for you. I want you to feel heard and supported, and I want the work to feel like ours.

If something is on your mind, bring it to a first visit and we'll start sorting through it together.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see spans the full arc of a life. Over the years I've worked across a range of outpatient settings with people of many ages, from teenagers navigating the noise of adolescence to adults in the thick of midlife, to older folks in their sixties and beyond who are still doing the real work of understanding themselves. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a second Master's in Philosophy, and I'm currently working toward a PhD in Human and Social Services, so questions about how people make meaning tend to follow me into the room.

I take my time getting to know you as a whole person, not just the concern that brought you in, and I ask enough questions to actually understand what's going on before we settle on any direction. I care about building genuine rapport first; trust isn't something I expect on day one. From there, we shape a path forward together, one that fits your particular life rather than a generic plan applied to you.

Whatever you bring, I want you to feel heard, respected, and taken seriously. The first step is simply talking things through and getting a clear picture of where you are; the rest we figure out as we go.

I'm a therapist who has spent years working across a range of clinical settings and with people from many different walks of life. That variety shaped how I practice: I've learned that no two people arrive for the same reason, and no single method fits everyone. My approach is client-centered, and I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and strengths-based techniques depending on what actually fits the person in front of me.

A lot of what I do is helping adults, including older adults, work through personal, emotional, and life transitions, the moments when something shifts and the old ways of coping stop holding. I lean on your strengths rather than fixating on what's wrong, and I build each plan around your goals rather than a formula.

Our first session is mostly about getting to know you and understanding what brought you here. I'll ask about your concerns and what you're hoping to gain, and we'll start laying a foundation we can keep building on together. I try to be thoughtful and steady, and I'd rather move at a pace that feels honest than rush toward a fix.

Deciding to start therapy takes something, and if you've gotten this far in reading, you've already done part of the hard part. When you're ready to talk, I'll be glad to sit down with you.

I'm a therapist with experience treating mood disorders, trauma, and the everyday stressors that pile up until they start running the show. I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth settings, so I've sat with people at a lot of different points, from a hard crisis to the slow work of putting a life back together. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and advanced EMDR, and I tend to draw on both body-based and mind-centered techniques rather than staying loyal to a single method.

I'm warm, but I'm also direct. If something isn't working, I'll say so, and I'd rather we name it together than talk around it. Our first session is mostly me getting to know your history, what brought you in, and what you're actually hoping will be different, so the plan we build fits your goals and not a formula. From there we set clear, meaningful targets and check whether we're moving toward them, session by session. I want you to feel heard and respected, and I want the work to add up to something you can measure.

Medication may be part of a larger plan for some people, but the therapy is the heart of what we do here. If you're ready to look at what's been weighing on you, we can start with a conversation and sort out the direction from there.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is adults and kids working through ADHD, anxiety, depression, and the messy stretches of life that don't come with instructions. Over nearly a decade in behavioral health, medical, educational, and community settings, I've spent a lot of my time on the practical side of things: how do you actually get through the day when your focus won't cooperate, or when everything feels like too much at once?

My approach is down-to-earth. I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, but what that really translates to in a session is us sorting through what's genuinely getting in your way and building real-world tools you can use. I care a lot about executive functioning, coping strategies, and the small habits that quietly reduce overwhelm over time. As a certified case manager, I can also help you connect the dots between therapy and the other supports in your life. Expect me to be authentic and respectful, and to tailor what we do to how you actually live, not to a template.

I work with both children and adults, so whether you're figuring this out for yourself or for a kid who's struggling, there's room for that here.

Deciding to look for a therapist takes something. If you've made it this far, you've already started the work; I'd be glad to help you take the next part.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on adults and older adults working through trauma, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, grief, ADHD, and the tangled combinations of these that rarely arrive one at a time. Over roughly twenty years, I've done individual, group, and family work, and I've spent the past several years practicing remotely with people from many different backgrounds. My training runs across DBT, ACT, CBT, trauma-informed care, family systems, motivational interviewing, and substance use treatment, so I can draw on what actually fits the person in front of me rather than one fixed method. I speak both English and Polish.

I'm a firm believer in meeting people at their own pace, so we accomplish your objectives at a speed that feels workable. Our first session is really an assessment: I want your background, what brought you in, and what you specifically hope therapy will do for you, so we can sketch a rough roadmap toward those aspirations. After that, I focus on what's actually standing in the way of your goals and what tools and supports might help you get past those barriers. From there we set smaller, weekly goals, the kind that add up to the larger changes you're after.

Reaching out for help takes some nerve, and if you've read this far, you've already started. When you're ready to begin that conversation, I'll be here.

I trained as a clinical social worker, and I mostly work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are moving through trauma, anxiety, depression, questions of identity, relationship strain, or a life transition that has knocked things off balance. I hold licenses in Alabama and California, I'm board-certified in transgender-affirming care, and I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Clinical Sexology, so identity development is work I take seriously rather than treat as an afterthought.

I'll be honest with you: I value direct communication, and I'll encourage the kinds of conversations that feel uncomfortable but tend to be the ones that actually move something. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, but I don't confuse structure with coldness. We start with a thorough intake so I understand your history, your strengths, your stressors, and where you actually want to end up. From there we set clear, measurable objectives, and I build a plan that lines up with your values rather than mine. Expect practical tools you can use between sessions, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments when something isn't working. I draw on CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused and EMDR-informed methods when they fit, and I coordinate with your other providers when that supports steadier, longer-term change.

Everything I do is grounded in dignity, respect, and cultural humility. Reach out when you're ready to get to work.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and the messy in-between moments that come with a major life transition. I've worked across outpatient, telehealth, and managed care settings, and much of what I do comes down to helping people make sense of the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that keep showing up, then building practical tools to actually work with them.

The way I work is integrative and person-centered, which really just means I don't hand everyone the same plan. Depending on what you need, that might look like CBT or DBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused or interpersonal work, or mindfulness-based techniques, shaped around your goals, your strengths, and what you value. In a first session, expect me to listen closely and ask questions that help me understand where you're starting from before we decide where to go. I take seriously the job of walking alongside you through whatever you're facing, with compassion and respect, and I want you to feel heard rather than processed.

Healing and growth tend to happen at their own pace, and I'd rather move at yours than rush a timeline. If something in your life feels stuck, painful, or simply too heavy to sort out alone, bring it to a first visit and we'll start untangling it together.

I'm a therapist, and over more than ten years I've worked in a lot of different clinical settings with people from all walks of life. That range matters to me, because it means I've learned not to assume that two people walking in with similar struggles need the same thing. Adults come to me at all sorts of turning points: some are trying to build steadier coping skills, some are working through a lifestyle change they know they need but haven't been able to make stick, and some just want to feel more like themselves again.

How we work depends on you. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches rather than forcing everyone into one method, and I keep an eye on the whole picture, not just the symptom in front of us. A lot of what I do is aimed at helping you become more independent over time, so the goal isn't leaning on therapy forever but leaving with more of your own footing. Early sessions tend to be practical: we talk through what's actually going on day to day and start naming what you'd like to be different.

I care about connecting with the person in the room, not a chart. If any of this fits where you are right now, there's no rush. Reach out when the timing feels right for you, and we'll take it from there.

I'm a therapist who has spent about ten years treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the disorientation that comes with big life transitions. A lot of that work has been with people navigating change they didn't choose: young adults finding their footing, and immigrant communities carrying the weight of leaving one home for another. Early in my career I provided trauma-informed care for undocumented minors who arrived at the US border seeking refuge, and later I served in a federally qualified health center on the Southwest side of Chicago, in both the clinic and a school-based health center. Those settings shaped how I listen.

My work is collaborative and goal-focused, and I try to start by finding the strengths you already have rather than cataloging what's wrong. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, existential work, and mindfulness, and where it fits I bring in sports and health psychology, because physical activity can teach us real life skills, build self-esteem, and help us settle. Clients and colleagues have told me I have a calming presence and that I'm a good listener, and I'd rather earn your trust slowly than rush the pace. In a first session I mostly want to understand what brought you in and what you're hoping will feel different.

If that fits what you're after, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see runs from adjustment struggles, when life throws a new circumstance at someone and they're not sure how to steady themselves, to depression, anxiety, and trauma. I've been doing this work for more than two decades now, across a wide range of ages, from teenagers to adults to folks well into their later years.

I'm eclectic in how I work, and I mean that plainly: people are different, and they need a style that actually fits them, not one I've decided on in advance. So depending on who's in front of me, I might draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, mindfulness, DBT, narrative, or something else entirely. What that looks like early on is a lot of me learning how you think and what has and hasn't worked before, so we're not repeating dead ends.

I ask for your feedback often, and I mean it. If something isn't landing, I'd rather know than keep going out of politeness; adjusting the approach is how the outcomes get better. My aim is straightforward, which is to help you get to your own full potential, whatever that looks like for you rather than for me.

Deciding to talk to someone takes something, and following through on it takes more. If you've gotten this far, you've already done the hard part. When you're ready, I'll be glad to start that conversation with you.

I trained as a marriage and family therapist, and I mostly work with adults across the whole span of life, from people in their late teens through those navigating their later years. I tend to see the person in context, looking at the various environments someone moves through and how those settings shape the way they feel and function. My clientele has spanned every life cycle, race, and medical need, and I've walked alongside people through medical diagnoses, grief, and the end of life, honoring all varieties of human beings as they come.

My approach is solution-focused at its core, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory, and grounded in trauma-informed and crisis intervention training (including an externship in Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr. Sue Johnson). In a first session, expect me to ask about the world you live in, not just the symptoms you carry, so we can figure out what's actually pressing on you. I start from the belief that every person arrives with a unique purpose, real strengths, and abilities worth drawing on. My job is to pair those with practical tools so the work belongs to you. When it's useful, I collaborate closely with the psychiatric clinicians here so care stays coordinated and personal.

Bring what's sitting on your mind to a first visit, and we'll work out where to go from there, together.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see is adults and older teens working through anxiety, mood struggles, and the kind of life transitions that leave you unsure of what comes next. I work with people from about age 15 on up, and part of what I've learned across an inpatient psychiatric hospital, outpatient group practice, and PHP and IOP settings is that no two stories arrive the same way, even when the diagnosis on paper looks similar.

I tend to believe that every person has the ability to live a happy, healthy, engaging life, but sometimes you need an objective observer to help uncover what that life actually looks like for you. So a first session is really about hearing your story. I'll ask questions, listen for what matters to you, and start building from your strengths rather than handing you a formula. My approach leans client-centered and solution focused; I want us moving toward something, not just naming what's wrong. I draw on techniques like CBT and DBT where they fit, but the direction stays yours.

I genuinely care about the relationships I build in this work, and I put real time and energy into the healing process alongside the people I see. That matters to me more than any single method.

Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

I'm a therapist who has spent over 15 years working with individuals and couples through trauma, relationship strain, and the big transitions that reshuffle a life. A lot of the couples I see come to me after infidelity, when trust feels broken and communication has stalled, and they're not sure if there's a way back to each other. I also work with adults facing anxiety, burnout, and the quieter emotional weight of living with a chronic illness, along with older adults navigating change later in life.

My training runs through Brainspotting, ACT, CBT, and the Gottman Method for couples, but I don't lead with technique. I lead with insight. Sessions with me are practical and collaborative; we'll name what's actually going on, and I'll offer real tools you can use between our conversations, not just in the room. I tailor the work to what you're facing rather than running you through a fixed program, and I'll be honest with you about what I'm noticing along the way. My aim is to help you build the kind of emotional resilience that holds up after therapy ends.

Whether you're coming on your own or as a couple, the goal is the same: more clarity, steadier connection, and enough confidence to face what's next. If trust has been shaken or you're just tired of running on empty, reach out and let's start the repair work together.

Most of my work as a therapist spans a wide range of ages, from children as young as five to older adults, along with everyone in between. I've spent years in individual, family, and group settings, and I've learned that the same struggle looks different at eight than it does at eighty. I see people navigating complex trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety and social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, grief, substance use, and the emotional weight of chronic medical issues and rare didiseases. I especially value working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and folks managing several things at once.

My approach is integrative. I lean on cognitive behavioral work, but I also draw from solution-focused and reality-based methods and positive psychology, because I take the mind-body connection seriously and want to understand how the different parts of your life are functioning together. I'm a firm believer that therapy is a partnership; we design your goals side by side, and I'll ask early on what has and hasn't worked for you before, so we don't repeat approaches that only left you frustrated. Early sessions are largely about me getting a clear picture of you as a whole person, so what we build actually fits your life and adjusts as your needs change.

If you've felt unseen or like past treatment missed the mark, I'd like to hear what brought you here and figure out a better fit together.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on trauma in its many forms, and I've spent more than a decade in clinical practice. A lot of the people I sit with have lived through intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or the particular kind of trauma that comes from a serious medical or physical health problem. Some are working through substance use alongside all of that. Whatever brought you in, I want the plan we build to be thoughtful and to actually match what you need, not a template I hand every person who walks through the door.

My approach is trauma informed, culturally aware, and centered on you. I lean on training in EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing, and I choose the tool that fits the person rather than the other way around. In session, I'll encourage you to notice your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present moment, and to widen your own sense of freedom and well-being from there. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and I bring that same curiosity into the room with you.

I teach undergraduate and graduate social work students here in Colorado Springs because staying rooted in my local community matters to me. Mostly, I want to help you recognize your own strengths and hold some compassion for yourself as you go.

The first meeting is just a conversation about what you're facing; we sort out the direction together once I understand it.

As a therapist, I work mostly with adults across the lifespan, including older adults, who are ready to look honestly at what's been shaping their lives. Much of my background comes from inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance use settings, along with residential treatment for eating disorders, so I've sat with people at some of the harder moments and I don't get thrown by them. I want the people I see to feel heard and validated, without having to apologize for their pain or their emotions.

The way I work is collaborative in a real sense: we work together toward your goals, and the progress tends to reflect the effort you put in. I usually start by getting to know your history, because I've found that past experiences shape a lot of how we behave and see things now. Early on, that means naming what you want to change and being honest about the obstacles standing in the way, then figuring out how to get past them together. In a first session, expect me to ask about where you've been more than to hand you a plan on day one.

My hope is that this is a place where you can be yourself, plainly and without editing. If that's the kind of work you're looking for, send a message and we'll get started.

My work as a therapist centers on the practical, day-to-day challenges people are trying to manage right now. I earned my Master's in clinical social work from the University of Chicago, and over the years I've practiced in a wide range of settings: primary care centers, college campuses, and long-term care facilities for adults living with serious mental illness. That mix has taught me that no two people arrive for the same reason, so I don't run the same session twice.

Much of what I do is solution-focused. I draw mostly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I adjust the approach to fit the person in front of me rather than the other way around. Early on, I want to understand your history and what brought you in; from there we set clear, actionable goals tied to what actually matters to you. I see therapy as a genuinely collaborative process, one where I reinforce the strengths you already have while helping you build momentum toward change. I bring compassion and creativity to this work, and honestly, a sense of humor too. Sessions with me tend to feel like a working conversation, focused and forward-looking, not a lecture.

Whether you're an adult sorting through something new or navigating the later chapters of life, I'm glad to help you get practical about it. Reach out when you're ready to get started.

I trained as a licensed clinical social worker, and I mostly work with people navigating the practical and emotional weight of a health issue: medical recovery, an ongoing illness, or living with a disability. Over more than twenty years in crisis centers, hospitals, senior services, and the VA, I've spent a lot of time alongside caregivers, veterans, and families trying to hold everything together. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I've learned that each of those seasons of life asks for something a little different.

A lot of what I do is listen carefully before we settle on anything. I start by asking what you'd actually like to focus on, and then we shape goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you, not a plan I've decided on in advance. I'll move at the pace that fits you, and I put a lot of stock in open communication and mutual respect. Some people come to me because it's hard to say certain things to family or friends; my aim is to be a place where you can speak freely about the parts that feel difficult.

My work leans toward healing and building confidence, so you leave feeling a bit steadier than when you came in. I bring patience and compassion to it, but I'll also be honest with you.

If that fits what you're looking for, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in talk therapy, and over 31 years of practice I've worked as a clinical director, a director of treatment, and in private practice and direct care. I'm also certified in complex trauma treatment. Much of that experience has been with people who've survived sexual abuse and trauma, alongside adults, adolescents, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. I've also spent years working with couples.

What carries through all of it is a strong belief in human potential and resilience, in our capacity to move through the obstacles and barriers life puts in front of us. I don't work from a single method, because people don't fit into one. Depending on what you're facing, we might draw on cognitive behavioral work, a psychodynamic lens, psychoeducation, or mindfulness. Early on, that means I ask a lot of questions and pay attention to how the pieces of your history fit together before we settle on where to focus.

Outside of clinical hours, I volunteer with survivors of sexual human trafficking, doing clinical assessments and public awareness work. That commitment shapes how seriously I take the people who sit across from me.

Wherever you're starting from, we begin with a conversation, get a clear read on what's going on, and build the direction of the work together as we go.

I'm a therapist, and much of what I see is anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disorders, and the kind of low self-esteem that quietly shapes how people move through their days. I've worked in mental health since 2013, and along the way I've spent a lot of that time with populations that don't always have easy access to care: homeless veterans, Native American communities, women, LGBTQIA clients, and people living in rural or remote areas where providers are scarce. I'm also trained in geriatrics, and I have a particular fondness for working with adults over 65. That stage of life deserves more thoughtful attention than it usually gets.

Because I'm trained across several approaches, including CBT, CBT for insomnia, DBT, mindfulness-based work, and treatment for prolonged grief, I'm able to shape therapy around the actual person in front of me rather than forcing everyone through the same door. A session with me tends to be practical and grounded; I'll ask questions, we'll figure out what's really getting in your way, and we'll decide together where to put the effort. I teach and supervise newer clinicians too, which keeps me honest about the craft.

If sleep, worry, grief, or the sense that you've faded into the background has been wearing on you, I'd be glad to sit down and sort through it with you.

I'm a therapist who has worked across residential programs, schools, outpatient clinics, correctional settings, and now telehealth. That range has taught me how to connect with people from very different walks of life, and it means I don't come in with one fixed idea of what your situation should look like. I see adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I try to tailor my support to whatever's actually in front of me rather than a template.

The way I work is collaborative from the start. I begin with a thorough intake to understand your history, your concerns, and what you're actually hoping to change, and from there we set goals that are realistic and mean something to you. I lean on a strengths-based approach, which for me is less a slogan than a habit: I'm looking for the skills and resilience you already have and building on them. You'll set the pace, and as your needs shift, I'll adjust what we're doing so the work stays relevant instead of running on autopilot. Expect me to be honest with you and to keep checking whether we're heading somewhere useful.

I earned my Master's from the Indiana University School of Social Work and am licensed in Indiana, Illinois, and Texas. Not sure whether this is the right fit for you? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist who has spent years treating adults and older adults living with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, panic attacks, grief, and the strain of family conflict or a life that's shifting under them. A lot of the people I sit with are navigating trauma, or a transition they didn't ask for, and they want someone who won't hand them a one-size-fits-all script. I trained through a community mental health agency in Los Angeles, where I worked with people from very different backgrounds facing genuinely complicated circumstances, and that shaped how I practice now.

I think of therapy as both a journey and a destination, so I keep my approach eclectic rather than loyal to any single method. Depending on what fits you, I draw on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, strengths-based, and dialectical behavioral work, along with EMDR for trauma. Early on, I'm mostly interested in your story: what brought you here, what you're hoping for, and how you actually communicate. From there we build a plan tailored to you rather than to a diagnosis. I want the work to feel culturally attuned and neurodivergent-friendly, and I care that you leave with fresh perspective and practical tools, not just conversation.

Reaching out for the first time takes real nerve. If you've gotten this far, you've already started the harder part, and I'd be glad to help you take the next step.

I'm a therapist with a particular focus on adults and older adults who want a place to think through what's been weighing on them. Most of my career has been in outpatient settings, working with people who are looking for steady, practical support for their mental health rather than a quick fix.

My style is patient-centered, and I lean on empathy, respect, and understanding in every conversation. I've found that therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, so I spend the first session getting to know your background, your challenges, and what you're actually hoping to change. From there, we build a treatment plan together, shaped around your specific needs rather than a formula I bring in from the outside. I move at your pace, and I won't push you toward growth faster than feels right. I'd rather we go one clear step at a time than rush toward something that doesn't hold.

I trained at the University of Maryland, where I grounded myself in evidence-based clinical practice, but the part that matters most to me is the relationship: a warm, comfortable space where you can talk openly about your experiences without worrying about being judged for them.

Whether you're 25 or 75, the questions that bring people to therapy tend to be more alike than different. Curious whether we'd work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

Most of my work as a therapist, over the last twenty years, is with individuals, couples, and families dealing with trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the kind of stress that comes with demanding work or college life. I'm bilingual, so I see clients in both English and Spanish, and I work with people across the age range, from teenagers to older adults. A lot of my earlier career was spent in places most people don't associate with therapy: skilled nursing and Alzheimer's care, a rehabilitation hospital, crisis response alongside police, and community mental health serving people who often go underserved. That history taught me to look at the whole picture, not just the symptom.

I work in a collaborative, systems-oriented way, which means I pay attention to the personal, cultural, and environmental factors shaping what you're going through. Early on, we do a thorough assessment and set clear goals, then check in on progress regularly using tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 so we can actually see what's moving. Sessions tend to blend practical skill-building with mind-body techniques, things like paced breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, drawing on CBT, EFT, IFS, and attachment work depending on what fits. I value measurable progress, and I'll be honest with you about it.

The first step is just a conversation about what brought you here; from there, we build the plan together and adjust as we go.

I'm a therapist who focuses on the concerns that adults carry through their whole lives: depression and mood, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and the self-criticism and shame that often sit underneath all of it. Over more than 15 years, I've worked across a lot of settings, from academic outpatient clinics and community health centers to the VA, EAP services, residential programs, clinical research, and HIV/AIDS service organizations. I have a particular passion for working with the LGBTQ community, and I also spend a lot of time with people navigating major life transitions, social discontent, and the emotional weight of medical conditions like HIV/AIDS.

My style is warm, authentic, and direct, and I'd rather be honest with you than tell you what's comfortable to hear. The work is individualized and built around goals we define together. Practically, I lean skills-based, most often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy inside a relationship that stays client-centered and attachment-focused. A lot of what we do looks at how your perspective, your assumptions, and the stories you tell about yourself feed the distress, and then we turn that into concrete action plans you can actually use. I see therapy as a collaborative process aimed at real change and a life that lines up with your values.

Curious whether this kind of work fits what you're looking for? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a therapist specializing in talk therapy for individuals, teens, couples, and families. Over 26 years, I've worked across a lot of different clinical settings, both in person and through telehealth, and I'm licensed in 12 states, which has kept me close to one steady conviction: good behavioral health care should actually be reachable for the people who need it.

My sense is that meaningful change starts with feeling heard and understood, so that's where I begin. I like to talk things through at a pace that feels manageable to you, without rushing toward a fix before I understand what's really going on. I usually start with a comprehensive assessment that covers your personal history, what's bringing you in right now, and where you'd like things to head. From there, we set individualized goals together and build a practical plan I'll adjust as we go and as you make progress. I try to stay open and approachable in the room; trust, collaboration, and respect aren't slogans for me, they're the conditions that make the work possible.

Whether you're a teenager trying to make sense of things, a couple stuck in the same argument, or an adult who just wants a thoughtful person to think alongside, my door is open. When you're ready to start talking things through, I'll be here to listen and figure it out with you.
