I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, and major life changes. I have a special interest in working with veterans, but I welcome adults from all backgrounds. My style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself and know you're not facing challenges alone.
I take a collaborative and curious approach to therapy. I use CBT to help clients understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop practical tools for change. I also use Motivational Interviewing to help explore barriers, build confidence, and move toward meaningful goals. Together, we'll find an approach that fits your needs and strengths.
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what's bringing you to therapy. I'll ask questions, listen closely, and help you identify what you'd like to change or improve. There's no pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is to create a relaxed, supportive space where we can begin building a plan that feels right for you.
