Great to meet you!

Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Do you find yourself wondering if life can be better? Now more than ever, children, adolescents, and adults are facing challenges that can feel difficult to navigate alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in school, community, and medical settings, I understand that each person’s journey is unique. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to help you heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed and personalized to your specific needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you process difficult experiences, understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, build resilience, and develop effective coping skills. Through psychoeducation, mindfulness, and therapeutic tools, I will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that supports your goals and empowers you to create meaningful change and live a more fulfilling life at any age.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We'll talk about your background, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain. Therapy is a journey, and we'll build on our work together over time. It takes courage to take the first step, you should be proud of yourself!
