Licensed Clinical Social Worker / Therapist/ Supervisor
Regret, self-criticism, guilt and shame are far too often root causes of the depression and anxiety plaguing our minds. Sometimes we don’t even realize these feelings until we examine our thoughts more carefully. Toni's goal in therapy is to help you recognize how thoughts and emotions impact your behaviors so we can break unhealthy patterns and find strategies that work best for you. She works to create a casual, stress-free environment where you can truly be yourself, feel understood, and validated. Using empathy and a conversational style, Toni brings knowledge, experience, and most importantly, a fresh perspective into the (virtual) therapy room. You will work together to build upon your strengths, and Toni will strive to help you find insight and practical solutions to implement into your daily life to find a path forward and heal.
Toni works with adults and couples aged 18+ with issues including anxiety, depression, women’s issues, empowerment, work stress, improving communication, interpersonal and relationship issues, life transitions, aging, living with chronic illness, spiritual growth, and resolving trauma.
