As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental wellbeing is key to satisfaction and stability in life. I have 10 years of experience working in the social work field and have spent the last 3 of those years dedicated to practicing psychotherapy. I am licensed in both Texas and Wisconsin and consider both places my home! My main focus is assisting young adults, ages 18-40 struggling with anxiety and depression.
I am here to collaborate with you and help you safely explore your past and learn to build a more meaningful and values-rich life instead of feeling the discomfort that “there’s something wrong.” I offer an empathetic, non-judgmental, and sincere posture to stay present with you as we gain insight into who you are. I will both challenge and support you along this journey! My work is informed by an integrative approach, drawing from mindfulness-based, psychodynamic, and insight-oriented psychotherapeutic practices. I’m committed to social justice perspectives and acknowledge this requires self-work.
Feeling safe, respected, and seen is necessary for therapy to be effective, so I always strive to build a good relationship with clients. We will start with an introductory/intake session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Goals can range from improving communication skills; decreasing anxiety levels; enhancing self-awareness and insight; and developing internal resources to cope with emotional suffering. We can work on goals together and ensure that sessions are catered to your needs!
