Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience supporting individuals in their mental health journey. My work focuses primarily on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life stressors. I often work with individuals experiencing burnout, major life transitions, relationship stress, work-related stress, and patterns of overthinking that can make daily life feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly and begin making meaningful changes.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique needs. Together, we will explore patterns, thoughts, and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, or low mood while also developing practical tools to help you cope more effectively. My approach is compassionate and grounded in evidence-based practices, helping clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will focus on understanding what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to change or improve in your life. From there, we will work together to create a plan that feels manageable and supportive. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable exploring the challenges you may be facing.
