Great to meet you!

I’m a LCSW with over 10 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself. I work with individuals ages 18 and up, and specialize in anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping you build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. I use evidenced based practices, such as, CBT, DBT, and solution focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we’ll talk about what brings you in, your goals, and any questions you may have. We’ll begin identifying priorities and outline a plan tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll work toward building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.
