I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping adults navigate life’s challenges in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy is a place where clients can feel heard, gain clarity, and develop tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and feel more confident in themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the treatment methods I use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In my practice, I use CBT to assist clients with identifying unhelpful thought patterns, exploring how those thoughts impact their mood and decision-making, and developing healthier coping strategies. I often support clients in challenging negative self-talk, improving problem-solving skills, setting realistic goals, and practicing new behaviors outside of sessions. My approach is collaborative and supportive. I work with clients to break down overwhelming concerns into manageable steps, while helping them build insight, confidence, and practical tools they can use in everyday life. CBT can be especially helpful for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and difficulties with boundaries or self-esteem.
During our first session, we will take time to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. I will ask questions about your current concerns, background, goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what feels important, and begin identifying areas where you would like support. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open at your own pace. Together, we will begin exploring your needs and discuss a plan for moving forward in a way that feels realistic and helpful for you.
