My philosophy as a social worker and therapist is simple: we are not defined by our diagnoses. Over the past eight years, I have worked across various settings with teenagers, families, and individuals facing diverse challenges, from substance abuse and relationship struggles to developmental disabilities. I am deeply passionate about meeting people where they are at, using a human-centered approach that prioritizes your needs above all else.
I bring a blend of humor and directness to every session, ensuring a non-judgmental environment where you can feel secure and seen. My clinical toolkit includes CBT and DBT, which I utilize to help clients navigate issues ranging from anxiety, ADHD, autism, substance abuse, bipolar, OCD, anger, boundary-setting, and home/school life adjustments. My goal is to partner with you to dismantle obstacles, manage complex emotions, and move closer to the life you envision.
The magical goal with the first session is rapport building, getting a direction with defining goals, and open conversation about “what is working and not working.”
