I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Doctor of Social Work degree and extensive experience in behavioral health, trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, healthcare, and forensic social work. My work is grounded in compassion, respect, and a genuine belief in each person’s capacity for growth. I provide an affirming and inclusive space while also helping clients examine the personal, relational, and societal forces affecting their well-being.
My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals. I will support you with kindness and compassion, but I will also respectfully challenge patterns, beliefs, social expectations, and systems that may be limiting your growth. Together, we will build practical strategies, strengthen insight, and create meaningful changes that align with your values.
Our first session will focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can share what brought you to therapy at your own pace. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to gain from our work together. By the end of the session, we will begin identifying goals and developing a collaborative plan for moving forward.
