Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, intimate partner violence, life transitions, self-esteem, and motivation. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with diverse clients, helping them navigate both everyday struggles and significant life events.

My approach to therapy

I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-focused care to help clients address emotional dysregulation, negative thought patterns, and unhelpful behaviors. My goal is to empower you to understand how these elements are interconnected and how you can use them to transform your life for the better.

What you can expect from me

I believe that life’s challenges can sometimes take us off course, but with the right support, we can find our way back. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, compassionate, and holistic environment where you can untangle troubling thoughts, gain clarity, and address the obstacles standing in your way. Through open discussion, goal setting, and tailored therapeutic techniques, I work with you to uncover solutions that empower you to live a happier, healthier life.
