I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to providing therapy, I supervise clinicians and support other social workers in their professional development. My background includes over 15 years experience working with teens and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, depression, burnout, relationship stress, and life transitions.
My work centers on compassion-focused care. I help clients develop stronger self-awareness, healthier boundaries, and sustainable self-care practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), insight-oriented therapy and several other evidence-based modalities to support both practical skill-building and deeper personal growth.
Our first session is structured but relaxed. We'll spend time understanding what's bringing you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you'd like to see change.
I'll ask some questions to get a clear picture of your current stressors, moods, relationships, and any relevant history. You don't need to prepare anything in advance or have the "right" words- we'll work through it together at a pace that feels manageable.
We'll also begin identifying practical goals and discuss the approaches we might take. My aim is for you to leave the first session with a greater clarity about your next steps, a hope that meaningful change is possible, and a sense of whether or not I am the right person to help you at this point in your life.
