Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults heal from the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of the people I work with struggle with issues such as abandonment, rejection, low self-worth, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My background includes working in behavioral health and substance use treatment, supporting people through difficult life experiences. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles. I work with clients to explore how past experiences may be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Together, we identify patterns, build healthier coping skills, and develop practical strategies for change. My goal is to help clients strengthen their self-awareness and create a more balanced and meaningful life.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You can expect a supportive and relaxed environment where you can share at your own pace. By the end of the session, we will begin identifying goals and discussing how therapy can support your healing and growth.
