Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of clinical experience, and I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, stress, and life transitions. I focus on creating a space where you feel welcomed, accepted for who you are, and supported without judgment. At the same time, I bring energy and direction to our work so we can move toward meaningful change. I meet you where you are and help you better understand yourself while working toward the life you want.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, solutions-focused, and action-oriented. I like to jump in and get to work, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s been feeling overwhelming or keeping you stuck, explore what you hope to get out of therapy, and identify practical ways to move forward. I use humor, strong rapport, and a down-to-earth style to help you feel comfortable and at ease. Together, we’ll focus on building skills and making real, doable changes so you can feel more aligned with your goals and values.
