Great to meet you!

With 15 years as a LICSW and over 20 years in the mental health field, I’ve learned that the first step toward moving forward is connection—creating a space where honest and challenging conversations can happen.

My approach to therapy

I draw from solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches to provide individualized support tailored to your unique needs, helping you build on your strengths and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and what feels most important for you right now. Whether it’s talking through current challenges or creating goals for improving an area of your life, we’ll work together to build a plan that supports your needs. We’ll also check in regularly to make sure that plan continues to align with your overall goals and the life you want to create.
