Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've had the pleasure of providing therapy since 2018. I have over a decade of experience working with a range of populations from young adults to geriatrics. I support people through a variety of issues including tackling depression, anxiety and major life transitions. I prioritize human connection and feel that is strengthened when we are able to be our authentic selves.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy. Your pace is my pace. I can provide you with strategies and coping skills to manage your symptoms in a non-judgmental space. I offer a warm and welcoming environment for open conversations, while also holding you accountable to your goals.

What you can expect from me

During our first session together, you will have the opportunity to share about yourself and your goals for therapy. If this is something you are unsure of, we can figure that out together. Therapy doesn't have to be so scary. I aim for you to feel comfortable, heard and empowered. I enjoy helping people thrive and be the best versions of themselves. Humor is incorporated in much of what I do. When all else fails, we will find ways to laugh together!
