Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in clinical, school, and community settings. I specialize in helping young people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, inattention, self-harm, and anger, using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT tailored to each individual. My background in crisis intervention, assessments, and treatment planning allows me to provide thoughtful, personalized care, and I value partnering closely with parents to support the whole family. I strive to create a warm, approachable space where clients feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools for lasting growth.

My approach to therapy

When we work together, I honor that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you in achieving your personal goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring each to fit your unique needs, preferences, and pace. My aim is to create a collaborative, supportive environment that aligns with your individual style and fosters meaningful growth.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll take time to build a comfortable connection and explore what’s been going on in your life, as well as what you’d like to focus on in therapy. Together, we’ll review your background and clarify your current goals so we can develop a thoughtful, personalized plan for moving forward.
