I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma recovery and EMDR therapy with over 10 years of experience in nonprofit social work—including services for individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, and families in the child welfare system.
I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work collaboratively with each client to create a personalized approach that feels safe, empowering, and effective. My practice is centered on compassion, authenticity, and the belief that healing is possible for everyone.
Our first session together is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, your history, and what you’re hoping to gain from the process—but at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to share everything right away.
I’ll also explain how I work, answer any questions you have about EMDR or trauma-focused therapy, and discuss what our sessions will look like moving forward. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan based on your needs, strengths, and preferences.
Most importantly, the first session is about building a sense of safety and connection. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and confident that you have support as you take this next step in your healing.
