Great to meet you!

What if the goal isn’t to silence your thoughts, but to understand them? Anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship challenges, or painful experiences from the past can leave you feeling stuck, even when you’re doing everything you can to move forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with teens and adults to create a warm, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and reminded that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

My approach to therapy

I believe healing begins with curiosity instead of criticism. Rather than trying to push difficult thoughts or emotions away, we’ll explore them together to better understand where they come from and what they may be trying to tell us. My style is warm, affirming, collaborative, and honest, balancing compassion with gentle challenges that encourage growth. I tailor therapy to your unique needs by integrating evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know one another. I’ll take time to understand what brings you to therapy, what’s been weighing on you, and what you hope will be different as we work together. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as we build a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for your life.
