Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, I believe everyone deserves a space to understand themselves and feel supported through life’s transitions. Reaching out for help takes courage, and you already took the first step by being here. My experience includes supporting young adults, parents, professionals, and individuals navigating change, anxiety, depression, stress, divorce, and adjustment challenges.

My approach to therapy

Every person has a story that shapes how they think, feel, and show up in the world. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychoanalytic exploration, and systems theory. We work together as partners in your growth. I offer a space where you can expect honesty, reflection, curiosity, and compassion. You will be supported, gently challenged, and encouraged to build insight into what you feel, why you feel it, and how to take steps toward a life that feels more grounded and aligned with who you are becoming.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for us to connect. You will have the space to share what is bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain. I ask thoughtful questions to understand your background, your goals, and how you have been navigating things so far. My intention is to create a warm, secure space where you feel comfortable being open and curious about your inner world. Together, we will explore whether we are a good fit and begin shaping a plan that supports your growth, healing, and emotional wellbeing.
