Great to meet you!

I am a dedicated social work professional with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. Holding a Master’s degree in Social Work, I have worked across diverse settings including inpatient psychiatric units, psychiatric emergency services, residential substance use disorder rehabilitation, detox facilities, medical social work, oncology care, and individual therapy. Driven by a lifelong passion for helping others, I strive to meet each client where they are and empower them to achieve their goals and fullest potential.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in creating meaningful, values-driven lives. I work collaboratively, focusing on clients’ strengths and resources while helping them develop practical strategies for change. Through ACT, I guide clients in cultivating psychological flexibility and accepting thoughts and emotions without judgment. Using SFT, I highlight solutions and successes to inspire progress, and through CBT, I help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. Across all sessions, I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment that empowers clients to build resilience, take purposeful action, and move toward their personal goals.

What you can expect from me

In every session, you’ll find a safe and supportive space to talk openly about what matters most to you. Together, we’ll uncover fresh perspectives, explore practical tools, and focus on small, meaningful steps that move you closer to your goals. You’ll leave feeling heard, encouraged, and equipped with something you can put into practice right away—so change feels possible, one step at a time.
