I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience helping adults through some of the most difficult periods of their lives. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like they’re constantly struggling to keep up.

I work with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, and the patterns that can develop when you’ve spent a long time just trying to get through the day.

I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest about what’s actually happening without feeling judged or like you have to make everything sound better than it is. I tend to work especially well with people who have been told they are “too much,” “too emotional,” or simply need to “try harder.”

My approach is practical, collaborative, and honest. I use DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed therapy, but I don’t believe therapy should feel like a checklist.

We’ll look at what’s underneath the patterns, understand what your thoughts and behaviors are communicating, and find healthier ways to cope and get your needs met.

I’m warm, direct, and interactive. I’ll explain why I’m recommending something, welcome you to challenge me, and adapt therapy when something isn’t working.

We’ll figure out together what actually works for you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You can show up overwhelmed, angry, depressed, confused, or unsure whether therapy will even help.

Our first sessions will focus on understanding what’s happening and figuring out what you need — without rushing to put you in a box. From there, we’ll build a realistic plan together.

I’ll give you practical tools, help you understand the patterns you’re stuck in, and work with you to make changes that actually fit your life.

Most importantly, you can tell me the truth. You don’t have to make your situation sound better for me.
