Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and addiction treatment. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults facing anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and co-occurring mental health challenges.

While I enjoy working with adults of all ages, I have a particular interest in helping young adults navigate the transition into adulthood. Whether you’re adjusting to college, starting a career, becoming more independent, or trying to figure out your next steps, I enjoy helping clients build confidence, develop coping skills, and create a life that feels meaningful and authentic. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and working toward the changes that matter most to you.

In my free time, I enjoy making memories with my daughters, playing guitar, and spending time outdoors hiking, birdwatching, or fishing. These hobbies keep me connected to the things I value most: curiosity, resilience, and appreciating life's quieter moments.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation built on trust, collaboration, and mutual respect. My role isn’t to tell you how to live your life, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies to move forward.

My approach is person-centered and tailored to each individual’s needs. I incorporate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and strengths-based interventions. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your existing strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what’s bringing you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. Just as importantly, it’s a chance for you to ask questions and decide whether I feel like the right fit for you.

My goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where you don’t feel pressured to have everything figured out. By the end of our first session, we’ll have a clearer understanding of your concerns, identify some initial goals, and begin developing a plan that reflects what is most important to you.
