I believe therapy works best when you can be your authentic self—without judgment and without feeling like you have to have everything figured out. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a warm, supportive, and down-to-earth space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and know that you’ll be met with compassion.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and life transitions and adjustments. I often work with people who feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, are experiencing a low or down mood, or are navigating a season of change that has left them feeling uncertain about what comes next. I am also currently pursuing certification in Maternal Mental Health, allowing me to further support clients through the unique emotional experiences that can accompany pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood.

My approach is individualized and collaborative. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, with a particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools they can use in everyday life.

Most importantly, I value being real, honest, and direct with my clients. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overly clinical. I want our work together to feel like a genuine partnership where you can laugh, be vulnerable, ask questions, and challenge yourself to grow. My goal is to help you feel more confident in navigating life’s challenges and better equipped to move forward in a way that feels meaningful to you.

I believe therapy should meet you where you are in life because no two people experience life, challenges, or emotions in exactly the same way. I take the time to understand each client’s unique experiences and needs so that our work together feels relevant, practical, and purposeful.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a starting point because it gives us an opportunity to explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, particularly what may be contributing to anxiety, low mood, or feeling stuck in the present moment. From there, I tailor our approach based on what you need and what feels most helpful to you.

I strive to create a space where you can be open, honest, and yourself. I am compassionate, but I am also real and direct when needed. My goal is to help you develop practical, individualized skills that allow you to better navigate challenges, feel more confident in yourself, and move through life’s transitions with greater clarity and confidence.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what you hope to get out of therapy, and what you feel you need support with right now. I’ll also take time to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process and how I work.

While the first session includes some important background and assessment, I don’t want it to feel like you’re simply answering a list of questions. I want it to feel like a genuine conversation where you can begin to feel comfortable being yourself. I strive to be compassionate, politely direct, and occasionally bring some humor into our sessions because therapy can be uncomfortable at times—and I believe you shouldn’t have to take yourself too seriously while doing difficult work.

As we move forward, we’ll identify practical, individualized goals and strategies that you can begin using between sessions. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of what you can work on before we meet again.
