Introduction

Welcome, I’m Mandy. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and supported. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor II (LADACII), I work with adults who are carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance use. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or judgment—it’s about creating a safe space to slow down, uncover what’s beneath the surface, and start building a life that feels real and fulfilling. Together, we’ll use proven approaches like CBT, DBT, and EMDR to help you process the past, navigate the present, and move forward with clarity and strength. I know what it feels like to carry too much for too long. My role is to walk beside you—sometimes offering tools, sometimes holding space, always reminding you that you don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to start your healing journey, reach out today. Let’s take that first step together toward a life that feels grounded, authentic, and free.
