Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience working in hospitals, schools, foster care, and community settings. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I strive to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is centered on meeting you where you are emotionally, mentally, and in your current season of life. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I strive to provide support that feels personalized, meaningful, and aligned with your individual needs.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space during their first session. Our initial session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and talk through any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin building a therapeutic relationship together.
