I believe therapy is a space to better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that shape your life and relationships. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with experience in community social work, healthcare, child welfare, human trafficking, and behavioral health. I support adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

You can be grateful for your life and still struggle. You can be strong and still need support. You deserve a space to be yourself, feel understood, and grow at your own pace.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, honest, and collaborative. I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we explore what you’d like to change and what helps you grow.

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, narrative therapy, and strengths-based techniques. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, notice patterns that may be holding you back, and build on the strengths you already have.

I believe some of our greatest lessons come from our own stories. My background in clinical social work, healthcare, and behavioral health has taught me to understand the whole person. We’ll make sense of how your experiences have shaped you, question beliefs that no longer serve you, and help you make choices that reflect what matters to you and who you want to become.

Our first session will be a relaxed, conversational experience focused on getting to know you beyond the challenges that brought you to therapy. We'll begin with introductions, review confidentiality and what to expect from the therapeutic process, and then talk about your experiences, current concerns, and what you hope to accomplish. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and discussing how we can work toward them.

You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. Just come as you are. This is your space, and we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You're always welcome to ask questions, share concerns, or let me know if there's something you're not ready to discuss.

I believe therapy should be more than a place to vent. My goal is for you to feel heard, gain clarity, develop healthier ways of coping, and feel empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
