Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and empowered. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect. Reaching out for help is a brave step, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

My approach to therapy

I create a safe space for you to explore what you are feeling in a nonjudgmental environment . My practice is a neurodivergent affirming space. I use a strengths-based and empowerment approach. I also use Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy to help clients gain the skills to manage their emotions and learn skills to cope with life situations.

What you can expect from me

In your first therapy session, I will gently get to know you, explain how everything you share is kept private, and ask about what’s bringing you in. You’ll talk together about your hopes and goals, but there’s no rush to share more than you’re comfortable with. The main goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and understood as you begin this journey
