Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience specializing in attachment, boundaries, anxiety, and the relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck. My clinical background includes CBT, DBT, ERP, and Brainspotting, and I integrate these evidence‐based approaches with a warm, direct, and collaborative style. I work with adults, teens, and parents navigating anxiety, relationship stress, family conflict, and identity shifts. I also have extensive experience supporting clients in non‐traditional relationship structures, including polyamory and ethical non‐monogamy, and provide a non‐judgmental, informed space for exploring these dynamics.

My approach to therapy

My approach is active, insight‐oriented, and grounded in helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotional and relational reactions. I blend attachment‐focused therapy with practical, evidence‐based tools so clients can build healthier patterns, communicate more effectively, and feel more secure in themselves and their relationships. I’m warm, direct, and collaborative — therapy with me often includes exploring relational dynamics, strengthening boundaries, improving emotional regulation, and developing skills that support long‐term change. I focus on creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what’s been feeling difficult, and what you want to change. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, current stressors, relationship patterns, and goals so we can build a clear plan together. Clients can expect a warm, non‐judgmental environment where they can speak openly and feel heard. By the end of the session, you’ll have a sense of direction and a collaborative plan for how we’ll move forward.
