I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s hardest moments. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges, and I’m trained in EMDR to help process and heal deeper experiences. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and real—I want you to feel like you can show up exactly as you are. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to land, where you feel understood, supported, and not alone.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and centered around you. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe enough to be honest and open, without fear of judgment. I use trauma-informed care and tools like EMDR, along with practical strategies to help you manage emotions, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life. We’ll move at your pace, working together to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and helping you feel more in control and connected to yourself.
The first session is really about getting comfortable and starting to build trust. We’ll talk about what’s been going on for you and what led you to reach out, but there’s no pressure to share everything all at once. You can go at your own pace. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your experiences, and you’ll have space to ask anything you’re wondering about too. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling a little more at ease, a little more understood, and hopeful about what’s possible moving forward.
