Great to meet you!

We can all feel overwhelmed by persistent sadness, anxiety, or racing thoughts. Major life shifts—like a career change, relationship end, parenting, or new phase of life—can be difficult to navigate. You do not have to figure it out alone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults break free from painful emotional patterns and reclaim a sense of control. My practice specializes in treating mood disorders and guiding individuals through challenging life transitions.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and focused on practical solutions. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape the negative thought patterns that drive your distress. Together, we will examine how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors, replacing old habits with effective, real-world coping strategies.

Therapy with me is a partnership. We will move at your pace, building a toolkit of actionable skills you can use long after our sessions end.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. Let's work together to help you move past survival mode and start thriving!
