I'm an independently licensed clinical social worker with nearly ten years of experience helping people move through substance use challenges, depression, and anxiety. I take a grounded, compassionate approach, and I work to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you move toward the life you want.
My approach is strength-based and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together we look at the thoughts and patterns keeping you stuck, especially around substance use, low mood, and anxiety, and build practical tools you can use between sessions. I move at your pace, and I focus on what is already working in your life, not just what is not.
Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. We will talk through what brought you to therapy, what you are hoping changes, and what has and has not helped before. There is no pressure to have it all figured out. Most clients leave that first session feeling lighter and less alone with it.
