Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel both supportive and empowering. I bring a warm, empathetic presence to my work, helping you explore your experiences without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and capable of growth. I pride myself on invoking dynamic conversation to help you identify patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful progress toward your goals.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. In our first session, we’ll take things one step at a time. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your experiences and what you’re looking for. Together, we’ll begin to explore your goals and what meaningful change might look like for you.
