Great to meet you!

As a license clinical social worker I believe in looking at the whole picture across a lifespan. Starting in community mental health then shifting into private practice has given me experience in a multitude of areas and allowed me to narrow my focus into the spaces I work best in. My practice currently supports children, teens, adolescents, and adults as they navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and the weight of familial and generational patterns.

My approach to therapy

Grounded in psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, trauma-informed, and person-centered approaches, I offer a warm and steady space to explore your inner world, understand the roots of your struggles, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and meaningful, helping you move toward lasting insight, relief, and growth.

What you can expect from me

Your first counseling session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, supportive foundation for our work together. We’ll start by discussing your background, including any relevant history that may help us understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll also explore both past and present symptoms or concerns so I can gain a full picture of your experiences and how they’re affecting you today.

From there, we’ll work collaboratively to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. These goals are not set in stone—they can evolve over time as your needs change. My approach is flexible and paced according to your comfort, ensuring that you never feel rushed
