Great to meet you!

Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker, and have been practicing therapy for 7 years. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults dealing with symptoms of anxiety and depression, and challenges related to life transitions, loneliness, self-esteem, and identity.

My approach to therapy

My approach is primarily strengths based and client centered, with techniques derived from various modalities including CBT, DBT and mindfulness. I have a genuine interest in meeting clients where they are, allowing for a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings, and ultimately helping them become their best selves.

Some of my interests include anxiety, social phobia, self-esteem challenges, depressive symptoms, trauma, identity/sexuality, ADHD challenges, and life transitions. I welcome clients of all races, backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. I look forward to starting this journey along with you.

What you can expect from me

During your intake session, I will work to identify what brings you to treatment and what you would like to get out of therapy. Together we will come up with goals to help get you to where you want to be. My main goal is to foster an environment where clients feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and feel truly seen and valued.
