Great to meet you!

Seeking therapy takes courage, and my goal is to make sure you never have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience working with adolescents and families, I specialize in trauma-focused care using TF-CBT while also helping clients manage anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, and difficult life transitions. I strive to create a warm, compassionate environment where clients feel safe, empowered, and supported as they work toward healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe every person deserves a safe space where they can feel heard without judgment. Using a trauma-informed approach and evidence-based treatments such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I help clients process difficult experiences, build effective coping skills, and gain confidence in navigating life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create goals that feel meaningful to you and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

What you can expect from me

I know starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so my goal is to make our first session as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. Together, we’ll begin creating a plan that fits your unique needs while moving at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
