More about Lenore
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate, focused on creating a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I support individuals navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and concerns around boundaries, self-worth, and stress. I’m mindful of how personal history, family dynamics, and culture shape each person’s experience, and I tailor therapy to your goals. Clients often describe my style as supportive and practical, offering insight and tools you can use outside of sessions to create meaningful change.
