Great to meet you!

Life can be beautiful, but it can also feel incredibly hard at times. It’s not always easy to show up for yourself when you really need to. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity exploration, and many challenges life can throw your way.

My approach to therapy

I take an eclectic, personalized approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques to best support your unique needs and goals. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to collaborate with you, offering guidance, tools, and a safe space to explore and grow. With warmth, and a touch of humor, I hope to be a collaborative companion on your journey to reaching your full potential.

What you can expect from me

Healing is not linear - we all start somewhere, and you don’t have to walk that road alone. As someone who values growth, authenticity, and connection, I bring compassion and curiosity into every session. Together, we will explore your story, uncover clarity, and move toward peace and hope. I truly believe you hold the strengths and skills to overcome your challenges, and I am here to help you access them, one step at a time.
