Great to meet you!

As an independent licensed clinical social worker, with 12 plus years of experience and a current Ph.D. student, I approach therapy as a collaborative process centered on compassion, authenticity, and growth. My style is down-to-earth and supportive, while also gently challenging when needed to help you uncover patterns and build lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches—including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices—while always tailoring the work to your unique needs and strengths.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and recovery. My background includes years of experience supporting clients in both outpatient and community mental health settings, which taught me that true healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and empowered to take small, steady steps forward.

Clients often describe my style as calm, engaging, and practical. I believe in combining insight with action—helping you not only understand what’s happening but also find concrete ways to move through it. Whether we’re addressing past trauma, current stressors, or future goals, my goal is to help you reconnect with your resilience and rediscover a sense of meaning and momentum in your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in meeting clients where they are at and walking alongside them on their journey toward healing and growth. I believe each person’s path is unique, and meaningful change happens when therapy feels safe, collaborative, and at your own pace.

I bring a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective that integrates evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I view therapy as a partnership—one where you bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical tools, empathy, and perspective to help you make sense of what you’re feeling and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Ultimately, my goal is to create a space where you can explore, reflect, and build the skills and self-understanding needed to live with greater balance and purpose. I see therapy as a journey we walk together—not as something I lead, but as something we co-create, one step at a time.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, relaxing, low-pressure first session focused on getting to know them and what’s bringing them to therapy. We’ll talk through your goals, answer any questions you have, and begin to outline a path forward at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My priority is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we start building a strong foundation for meaningful, lasting change.
