Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe that every person's story is unique. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and personalized to meet your individual needs. I strive to create a welcoming environment where hope can grow, resilience can flourish, and every client feels valued and respected.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood and supported as you move toward healing and growth. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, depression, life transitions and relationship concerns. I am trained in EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) , an evidence based therapy that helps people heal from distressing experiences and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to provide a welcoming, comfortable space where you feel heard and supported.

During our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy, the challenges you

re facing, and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions about your personal history and current concerns to better understand your needs, but ther's no pressur to share eveything at once--we'll move at a pace that's righ for you.

We'll discuss your goals, answer andy questions you have about the therapy process, and begin developing a plan that fits your unique needs.

My hope is that you'll leave your first session feeling understood, supported, and encouraged as we begin your journey toward healing an growth.

I believe therapy is not about fixing you--it's about helping you discover the strength, insight, and resilience that already exist within you.
