My approach to therapy

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I support adults across diverse settings. I view healing as a nonlinear, collaborative process that begins when we start working together. My clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I use to help clients better understand, navigate, and respond to the complex emotions and experiences that arise in daily life. In addition, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory into my work, guiding clients in exploring and healing the many part of their inner world with curiosity and compassion. I foster a safe and nonjudgmental space for meaningful growth.

What you can expect from me

I offer a humble and down to earth environment in which you can come in and explore any conflicts you are experiencing. I will work with you to help you to come up with solutions to these conflicts and work on developing changes in behavior to accomplish your individualized goals.
