Humble Steps Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, APHSW-C
I often hear from clients and colleagues that my love for this work is palpable. This passion grew from my roots in Hospice and Palliative Care, where I considered it a profound privilege to be invited into the most intimate moments of a person's life. While tending to patients, I noticed that physical symptoms like insomnia, chronic pain, and fatigue often persisted despite medication. This sent me down a path of deep research into the link between traumatic experiences and physical suffering, ultimately leading me to specialize in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and AEDP.
Because of this background, it is imperative for me to tend to the entirety of a person. I believe that being safely seen and felt by another, releasing traumatic burdens from the mind, and reclaiming the body are all integral to thriving. This is a journey I join alongside you, rooted in deep respect for the tenacity of the human spirit.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
Everyone at times needs some support or coaching on their life journey. I'd be happy to sit down with you or talk on the phone and compassionately listen to your story and lend some hope and encouragement. I view "problems" as opportunities to work on and overcome the 'threats' within and around us and to open up our lives to new levels of growth.

Jennifer Elve
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, CEAP, GMHS
Welcome to a space designed for clarity, support, and meaningful progress.
Navigating personal stress, professional demands, and family responsibilities can often leave you feeling stretched thin. My practice is built on the belief that therapy should be accessible, empowering, and deeply attuned to the reality of your daily life.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of specialized expertise with practical, real-world solutions:
Specialized Geriatric & Caregiver Support: As a Geriatric Mental Health Specialist (GMHS), I provide dedicated guidance for older adults and the "sandwich generation"—caregivers balancing aging parents, careers, and their own families. I help you navigate ambiguous loss, cognitive shifts, burnout, and complex family dynamics with practical strategies and emotional grace.
Workplace & Life Stress Mastery: Drawing on my background as a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I bring a structured, action-oriented approach to workplace stress, life transitions, and work-life harmony, helping you regain focus and maintain healthy boundaries.
Affirming & Whole-Person Care: My practice provides an inclusive, identity-affirming environment for individuals navigating LGBTQ+ experiences, chronic health conditions like HIV/AIDS, women’s issues, and pivotal life changes.
Clients choose to reach out because they need more than just someone to listen—they want a collaborative partner who brings clinical insight, structured coping tools, and genuine warmth. Whether you are seeking relief from immediate caregiver stress or striving for long-term personal growth, reaching out today is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being.
