I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor with a PhD. I work with adults who look like they have it all together but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure who they are underneath the roles they play. I'm warm, and I'm also direct: I'll listen closely, and I'll tell you the truth. I focus on anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationships, and self-esteem.
My approach is collaborative and practical. I draw mainly on CBT, along with DBT, ACT, SFT, and EFT, and I tailor the mix to you. We identify the patterns behind what you're feeling, like people-pleasing, overthinking, or self-doubt, then build coping skills and boundaries you can use in real life, not just in session.
Your first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. I'll ask what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what you want to be different. You don't need to have it figured out or tell your whole story at once. By the end, we'll have a shared sense of your goals and a plan for the next few sessions.
