Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting young people and families through stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can show up as you are. My work focuses on building coping skills, emotional balance, and confidence while helping clients make sense of their experiences. I value collaboration and work at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and client-centered. I focus on creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and empowered while building practical coping skills, emotional regulation, and self-understanding. I tailor each session to the client’s needs and move at a pace that feels comfortable. My work is trauma-informed and focused on supporting adolescents, young adults, and families through stress, anxiety, life transitions, and challenging experiences.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, relaxed space where we focus on getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of it, and any immediate concerns you want support with. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences while making sure the pace feels comfortable and not overwhelming. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and next steps so you leave feeling supported and clear about what therapy with me will look like
