Who I work with
The individuals I work with
I’ve worked with individuals struggling with issues related to their relationships, anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, LGBTQIA+, work–life balance, transitions and life changes, and an array of other difficulties.
If you’re interested in flourishing — in building the life you want, learning more about yourself, reconnecting, finding your community, finding inner peace or balance, waking up to your true potential, or rediscovering who you were before all this — then your journey begins now.
Collaborative, not prescriptive
I work at building a real working relationship from the first session. You are the expert in your life, but you do not have to go it alone; my job is to bring the training, the questions, and the steadiness.
Your definition of a good life
We work toward a meaningful and well-balanced life as you define it — your own happiness, your own limitless version of yourself. Not a template someone handed you.
Dignity and respect, always
I am deeply committed to assessing and responding carefully to a wide range of situations, with support, empathy, compassion, nonjudgmental and meaningful guidance throughout.
Privacy taken seriously
Sensitivity to privacy and confidentiality is not a formality at the bottom of a form. It shapes how I hold everything you bring into the room.
How I work
The approaches I draw on
No single approach is right for everyone, so I draw on several and use what fits the individual I am working with.
- DBT Dialectical Behavior Therapy
- CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
- CPT Cognitive Processing Therapy
- MI Motivational Interviewing
Alongside these, my work is shaped by:
- Person-centered therapy
- Positive psychology
- Solution-focused therapy
- Strength-based practice
- Trauma-focused care
If you have had therapy before and something in particular helped — or didn’t — say so early. It genuinely shapes where we start.
A note on licensing
Why the state you live in matters
Therapy is licensed state by state, and a clinician can only see you where they hold a license. I hold clinical social work licensure in four:
- Indiana LCSW · #34007134A
- Tennessee LCSW · #8493
- North Carolina LCSW · #C019891
- Massachusetts LICSW · #1141047
So I can work with you if you are physically located in one of those four states at the time of our sessions — whatever your home address says.
If you’re somewhere else, say so on the phone anyway. I would rather spend five minutes helping you find the right person in your state than leave you starting the search over from scratch.
