Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker, with experience working with children, adolescents, teens, young adults and their families. I specialize in working with anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, loss, as well as navigating other life challenges.

My approach to therapy

My style is collaborative and relationship-focused, blending empathy and humor to help my clients feel empowered. Utilizing CBT, DBT, play therapy and other client centered approaches, I work alongside clients to help them build resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and better understanding of their emotions.

What you can expect from me

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, and are seeking a space where they can feel understood and supported without judgment. Clients and I work together to set meaningful goals that feel comfortable for them.
