Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping humans navigate life’s many challenges. I specialize in working with trauma, women’s issues, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe to show up authentically, receive proper support, and feel truly heard. My approach to therapy is compassionate and collaborative. We’ll work together to understand what’s been challenging you and find practical ways to move through those challenges. I believe healing happens through connection, and I’m here to help you build a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in trauma-informed, person-centered care. I deeply believe in the resilience we all have within us as a powerful tool, and will utilize a strengths-based approach to assist you with connecting with that. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to find interventions that are the best fit for their needs. I often utilize techniques from CBT, DBT and mindfulness in session.

Making the choice to begin therapy can often feel both hopeful and nerve-wracking, all at the same time; and that's completely okay! Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what you've been experiencing, what brought you to therapy, and what you’d like to get out of our work together. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your story, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. By the end, we'll have an understanding of your goals for therapy, and how we'll work together moving forward.
