Great to meet you!

Welcome to therapy! Whether you’re here for the first time or are returning you’ve made the decision to care for yourself. As a clinical social worker, we’ll explore the impact the systems and environment around you have on your wellbeing and work together to grow your strengths.

I work with adults 18+ using a range of therapy skills. In particular I enjoy using solutions-focused approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and strength-based because everyone needs something different!

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is about you and the change you want to see for yourself and my goal is to help you feel confident in finding your own solutions to problems no matter the source. This is a partnership, so whether you're struggling with past trauma, relationships, or life changes we will work together to identify and explore barriers

I have a special interest in exploring how culture and identity impact and sometimes complicate our lives.

What you can expect from me

I like to start with a consultation to get a better idea of what you're looking for, expectations and to answer questions. From there if you would like to continue with me we would meet for the introduction session to figure out what you most want out of therapy and how I can support with the process.
