Clients often come to me when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or wondering why things that “should” feel manageable don’t. You might be dealing with anxiety, a health condition that’s changed your life, or struggling to adjust to a major transition.

I specialize in working with individuals ages 17 and older who are trying to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, and feel more grounded in daily life.

As a medical social worker specializing in transplant and chronic illness, I’ve supported people navigating uncertainty, grief, identity shifts, and the emotional impact of serious health conditions. This has shaped how I understand anxiety, relationships, and emotional wellbeing when life takes an unexpected turn.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that is tailored to your needs and goals. Some clients prefer a structured, goal-oriented focus, while others benefit from a more open space to process and reflect.

I integrate supportive therapy with practical coping strategies to help you better understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The goal is to create meaningful change that carries into your daily life, not just insight in session.

In our first session, we’ll focus on what brought you in and what life has been feeling like recently. There’s no pressure to have everything clearly defined...we’ll talk through it together!

We’ll explore your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope will feel different moving forward. I’ll also answer any questions you have about therapy and what working together would look like.

By the end of the session, you should leave with a clearer sense of direction and whether this feels like the right fit.
