Great to meet you!

I am an Independently licensed social worker that has a compassionate, client-centered approach, dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges. Some specialty areas include anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, using evidence-based techniques tailored to each client’s needs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and build practical coping skills. Committed to fostering resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is based on the client and their needs. Some of the interventions I am familiar with are CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma, mindfulness, and others. It is important that the client feels safe and comfortable during sessions.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an introduction. We will get to know each other and get to know what you are and are not wanting from therapy. Everyone has their own path.
