Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. As the founder of Peace By Piece Therapy, I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches, always tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to guide you toward clarity, self-awareness, and peace.

My approach to therapy

My approach is to meet clients where they are and work together at a pace that feels safe and supportive. I focus on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space while using evidence-based techniques to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming space where they feel genuinely cared for and understood. I will guide them through a psychosocial assessment to better understand their history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. This process helps me tailor therapy to their unique needs while also giving them the opportunity to share at their own pace. Clients can expect compassion, active listening, and collaboration as we begin building a foundation for their care.
