Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor-Master (CASAC-M) with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health. I've supported children, adolescents, and adults through emotional challenges, substance use concerns, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative and nonjudgemental. Together, we'll build on your strengths and work toward meaningful changes in a way that respects your individual needs and goals.

My approach to therapy

  • My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I consider the whole person, including how your experiences, relationships, and daily life affect your emotional well-being. I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, relevany history, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You'll have space to ask questions and share what you feel comfortable sharing. Together, we'll begin identifying your goals and discuss how I can support you.
