Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving as a mental health therapist for young adults and on. Although I have the training, experience, and privilege to be a therapist, I understand that you are the one who has walked in your shoes the longest. I am a passionate therapist who wants to listen, get to know you, and work collaboratively to reach the goals and vision you have for yourself, even if you're not too sure what those "visions and goals" may look like yet. Though it may feel tough and sound like a lot of work, I am so excited to be in your corner on this journey with you! Together, we can process and work towards reaching the change and growth you are seeking.

Many people feel like they have to be "on" in their everyday life and rarely find time to let the guard down and be vulnerable. I like to provide a safe space where you can share anything on your mind, be honest and real, and not worry about the fear of judgment or ridicule. In our sessions, I mainly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, as these are the "gold standard" forms of therapy. However, I am not fixed to these treatment modalities alone and also incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy techniques.

In our first session, you can expect to feel welcomed, safe, and confident. My hope is that you will leave the first session with hope. Hope that the reason for coming into therapy in the first place will get better. Whether that eventually looks like you resolving the challenges you face, or reframing your perspective, or learning to cope with something that can't be changed, or having hope that one day you will have hope. When you leave the first session, I hope you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
