Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides a warm, thoughtful, and grounded therapeutic space for adults navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer serve them. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering so you can feel heard, understood, and gently challenged to grow.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I work with you to build insight, develop practical coping tools, and increase emotional awareness while honoring each person's lived experiences, values, and goals. I value authenticity, self-reflection, and creating a space where you can show up fully as themselves without judgment. I am especially passionate about supporting adults managing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. Together, we work toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will get to know each other in a relaxed and supportive environment. We'll spend time discussing what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There is no pressure to share everything at once. The first session moves at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, you can expect to leave with a clearer understanding of how I work, what our therapy process may look like, and next steps moving forward. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and confident about whether this therapeutic space feels like the right fit for you.
