Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with several years of experience providing individual and family therapy, as well as crisis intervention and community-based mental health support. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating a space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and develop tools that support meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, while also feeling supported in exploring patterns, relationships, and experiences that may be affecting your well-being. I work with clients to build greater self-awareness, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels authentic to them. My areas of focus include trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, self-esteem, and navigating the challenges of balancing your own needs with the expectations of others.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment where we begin to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. I typically encourage clients to think about what they would like to work on and bring those thoughts into our next session so we can have intentional conversations and begin setting realistic, meaningful goals together. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable while also identifying practical ways to support your growth, self-awareness, and overall well-being.
