Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. Having worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

My approach to therapy

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can safely express yourself, explore life's challenges, and be your authentic self. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way. My focus is to support you at a pace that feels comfortable and safe, empowering you to build confidence, resilience, and lasting positive change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a relaxed, supportive environment. We'll spend time discussing what has brought you to therapy, your personal history, your current challenges, and the goals you hope to achieve. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you. Together, we'll begin creating a plan that is tailored to your needs, with the goal of helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence to create meaningful, lasting change.
