Introduction

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and trauma-informed therapist with nearly two decades of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal from emotional wounds, and reclaim their confidence and purpose. I began my career in 2007, driven by a deep desire to support others through meaningful, compassionate care. Over the years, I noticed that traditional therapy often left out the human side—the creativity, connection, and authenticity that people truly need to grow. That’s why I created DNA Therapy and Creative Solutions—where clinical excellence meets real, transformative healing. “DNA” stands for Delete Negativity Always, a mantra inspired by my son and a reminder that change starts with mindset. I specialize in working with women who are ready to rewrite their stories—whether they’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship struggles. I use evidence-based methods like EMDR and CBT, but I also blend in coaching, guided meditation, and creative approaches tailored to the whole person—not just their symptoms. If you’re looking for a space to feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
