Great to meet you!

I know how overwhelming it can feel when life changes suddenly and you're left figuring out how to move forward whether that's coping with a health diagnosis, stepping into a caregiving role, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a new chapter you didn't ask for. I bring years of experience supporting people through exactly these kinds of transitions, and I understand both the practical and emotional weight they carry. In our work together, my goal is to help you feel less alone, more grounded, and more confident in your ability to handle what's in front of you one step at a time.

My approach to therapy

My work in hospital based social work, particularly in neuro critical care, shaped how I approach therapy: I'm used to helping people process sudden, disorienting change and figure out next steps when there's no roadmap. I draw from Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, but the core of my work is collaborative and practical, we name what's actually happening, what you have to work with, and what a workable next step looks like.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk through what's been happening, how it's affecting your life, what support you already have, and what you'd like to change. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming in. Together, we'll start identifying your priorities and build goals that actually fit your life, not a one size fits all plan.
