Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and couples navigating stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a strong focus on helping children manage stress, behavioral concerns, and emotional challenges, while also supporting families and couples experiencing conflict and difficult relationship patterns.

My approach to therapy

A supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and ready to make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, direct, and solution-focused. I help clients identify patterns, improve communication, and develop practical tools they can use in their daily lives. I strive to create a supportive and comfortable space where clients feel heard, understood, and able to make meaningful, lasting changes.

What you can expect from me

The first session is focused on getting to know you and creating a foundation for our work together. We will spend time building rapport so that you feel comfortable and at ease in the therapeutic space. I will conduct an initial assessment to better understand your background, current concerns, and what has brought you to therapy at this time. Together, we will begin identifying your goals and what you hope to gain from our sessions. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, with a clearer sense of direction and what our work together will look like going forward.
