MSW, LCSW Healing Minds Therapy
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Adjustment Disorder, Abuse Survivors,

Introduction

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes, we just need a space to breathe, reflect, and find a way forward. As a therapist, my approach is all about meeting you where you are—without judgment—while helping you uncover the strengths you already have. I blend different therapy styles, like Attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to create a personalized, holistic experience that fits your unique needs. With over 16 years of experience working with people from all walks of life, I know that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, or life changes, I’m here to support you in breaking free from unhelpful patterns and gaining confidence in yourself. Therapy should feel like a safe and supportive space—somewhere you can be yourself and work through whatever’s holding you back. I offer sessions via video & phone with flexible scheduling. If you’re wondering whether we’d be a good fit, reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation. I’d love to chat and see how I can help.
