Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work, dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I understand that mental health concerns can be complex and sometimes overwhelming, but having a compassionate, open ear can make a meaningful difference. My approach is solution-focused and collaborative, helping you gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools for growth. Together, we can work toward a deeper understanding of yourself and create a path forward that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with an emphasis on creating a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere where you can feel at ease being yourself. I work collaboratively with clients to gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and explore new perspectives that support meaningful change. Together, we focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies that fit your unique needs and goals. I also pay close attention to the small details, as they often hold important clues that help us better understand and address the bigger picture.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a peaceful, warm, and even lighthearted environment where you can feel safe, supported, and genuinely comfortable. My goal is for our conversations to feel like you’re talking with a trusted confidant; someone who truly listens and understands. I take time to get to know you as a person first, so we can approach life’s challenges together in a way that feels natural and meaningful. I also enjoy incorporating the hobbies and interests you already love into our work, using what you have at hand to explore solutions and support your growth.
