Personalized Support for Growth and Change

At Hope Family Guidance, I provide a supportive space to explore life’s challenges, understand yourself more fully, and work toward meaningful change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I collaborate with you to develop goals that reflect your needs, values, and personal experiences.

Therapy Services

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions for children ages 8 and older, adolescents, and adults. Together, we explore your concerns, strengthen coping skills, and work toward your personal goals.

Sessions for married couples and individuals in romantic relationships who want to improve communication, navigate conflict, strengthen connection, or work through relationship changes.

Family Therapy

Sessions with two or more family members to address communication, relationships, boundaries, and challenges affecting the family.

Group Therapy

Closed groups may be offered periodically based on interest and identified needs. Group topics and availability will be announced on the website. Please contact the practice if you would like to express interest in future groups.

Areas of Focus

I support clients experiencing a range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship concerns, including:

• Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Bipolar disorder
• Stress, adjustment difficulties, and life transitions
• Cultural and ethnic identity concerns
• Divorce, blended family challenges, and changing family relationships
• Communication, boundaries, and relationship concerns

My approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), reflection, and practical coping strategies to help you understand the connections among your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Virtual Therapy

Hope Family Guidance is a virtual-only practice. All sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, allowing you to attend from a private, comfortable location.

Please plan to join your session from a space where you can speak freely and participate without interruptions.

Session Scheduling

Appointments are generally available Monday through Thursday during daytime hours, subject to availability. Most sessions last approximately 53 minutes.

The frequency of sessions is based on your needs and treatment goals. Sessions may be scheduled weekly, every other week, or monthly, with adjustments as your needs change.

What to Expect

1. Getting to Know You

Before your first appointment, you will complete intake forms through the client portal. During our initial session, we will discuss your concerns, relevant history, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Previous evaluations or information from other providers may also help guide our work together.

2. Creating a Plan Together

We will develop a treatment plan that reflects your priorities and identifies goals for therapy. I will explain my approach, answer your questions, and discuss what progress may look like for you. Your feedback is welcome throughout the process, and we will revisit the plan as your needs evolve.

3. Working Toward Your Goals

Therapy is a collaborative process that benefits from openness, active participation, and practicing skills between sessions. Our work may focus on understanding patterns, exploring different perspectives, strengthening coping strategies, and making changes that support your well-being.

Discussing difficult experiences or trying new ways of responding can sometimes bring up uncomfortable emotions. Progress varies from person to person, and specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Together, we will regularly review your experience and progress toward your goals.
