About Strength and Renewal Mental Health Therapy LCSW
When life's pressures mount, it’s easy to feel disconnected from one’s inner strengths. Therapy creates a supportive environment to explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, and life transitions with openness and compassion.
With over two decades of experience, therapy services are tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, blending evidence-based strategies like CBT, psychodynamic insight, and a strengths based biopsychosocial approach. Specialties include working with neurodivergent individuals, including those on the Autism spectrum.
The focus is on empowering growth, building resilience, and helping clients move toward greater balance, meaning, and self-connection.
