Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with over five years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, ADHD, substance use, and relationship stress. My approach is practical and collaborative—I help you find real steps that make life feel steadier and more manageable. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in roles that taught me what real stress looks like, which helps me stay grounded and relatable in the room.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and practical. I draw from CBT, DBT-informed skills, and solution-focused therapy to help clients understand what’s driving their stress and take concrete steps toward change. Sessions are active and conversational—we focus on insight, skill-building, and progress that feels real in daily life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is focused on understanding what’s been happening and what you’d like to change. I’ll ask questions to get a clear picture, but the pace is relaxed and collaborative. We’ll identify some early goals and practical next steps, so you leave knowing what we’re working toward—and that you’re in good hands.
