Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience supporting people across a range of settings, including inpatient care and both individual and family therapy. My work as a therapist has shaped my understanding of how our environments, relationships, and experiences influences our emotional well being throughout life.

Life has a way of asking us to figure things out while we're still figuring out who we are. If your a young-middle aged adult and feeling the weight of career decisions, shifting relationships, family expectations, or just not knowing what comes next, you don't have to sort through it alone.

I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, as well as the specific pressures that come with life transitions — starting a new job, ending or redefining a relationship, moving, or simply realizing the path you're on doesn't feel like yours anymore. A lot of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can't quite name, or unsure how to ask for what they need from the people around them. Through therapy, we can navigate these challenges together through Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also accepting adolescent clients. I also have experience working with children ages 2.5-12 in elementary school setting experience social/emotional struggles as well children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I draw on individual and family therapy approaches, which means we'll look not just at what you're feeling, but at the relationships and environments shaping those feelings — because so much of how we understand ourselves is tied to the people and experiences around us. For clients navigating family tension or relationship strain, I can bring that family-systems lens directly into sessions when it's helpful. For those working through anxiety or depression, we'll focus on building practical tools alongside a deeper understanding of the patterns driving those feelings.

My approach is collaborative and grounded — I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest about what's not working, without judgment, and leave each session with a clearer sense of your own needs and direction. Whether you're facing a specific transition or a more general sense of feeling stuck, my goal is to help you move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you actually are.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. I value getting to know you as a whole person, including your strengths, backgrounds, and what matters most to you. We can explore emotional and relationship patters, develop coping skills, strengthen boundaries, and build confidence in navigating everyday challenges.

You do not need to have all the answers-or know exactly where to begin to start therapy. I hope to meet you where you are and help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you take your next steps. I am available for a free 15 minute consult to see if this is a good fit for you!
