Seeking support takes courage, and I believe therapy works best when you have a safe space to be yourself without judgment. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and stress. I take a whole-person approach to wellness, recognizing that mental health is connected to our relationships, environment, values, and experiences. My goal is to create a supportive and affirming space where you feel empowered to build on your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and solution-focused. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you gain insight, identify solutions, and build the tools needed to navigate challenges with confidence. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll work toward creating a life that feels more balanced, connected, and aligned with your values.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss what brought you to therapy. We'll explore your current challenges, strengths, and goals, and begin creating a plan that feels meaningful and realistic for you. My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. I hope you leave feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about the path ahead.
