Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the founder of Kismet Counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and client-centered—I believe therapy should feel collaborative and tailored to your unique needs.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounding, and encouraging. I strive to make each session a place where you can show up authentically and leave feeling more capable and hopeful about your path forward.

My approach to therapy

My treatment style is collaborative and compassionate. I take the time to really listen and understand your unique story, honoring your experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll explore practical tools and healing strategies that fit your needs and goals. Whether it’s through trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, or client-centered approaches, I’m committed to helping you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, along with practical skills to manage challenges and build resilience. You can expect to leave feeling more empowered, supported, and hopeful about your path forward. Together, we’ll work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you, creating lasting change that honors your unique journey.
