Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and supported. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or identity exploration, I work collaboratively to help you navigate these challenges. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and holistic approaches. My experience includes working with youth, LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, and those seeking clarity in relationships and personal growth. Together, we’ll create meaningful goals tailored to your unique journey.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in building authentic, trusting relationships where clients feel seen, safe, and supported. I use a trauma-informed, client-centered lens to guide therapy—meaning I meet people where they are and focus on their unique goals, values, and lived experiences. My style is calm, curious, and nonjudgmental. Whether we’re processing past experiences or navigating present challenges, I aim to create a space where growth feels possible.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more connected to themselves. I aim to create a space that’s consistent, affirming, and free of judgment—where it’s okay to be honest, vulnerable, and unsure. Whether we’re building coping strategies, unpacking past experiences, or setting goals for the future, I focus on helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

My goal is for each session to offer something tangible—whether it’s a new perspective, a deeper insight, or simply the relief of knowing you’re not alone in what you’re facing. I want therapy to feel like a safe place to grow, not just a place to talk.
