I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides a warm, down to earth space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I have over 5 years experience providing counseling to individuals navigating trauma, including first responder trauma, along with individuals with substance use concerns and the stress that comes with navigating life's challenges.
I understand that reaching out for support isn't always easy, and I strive to meet you with empathy, respect and without judgement.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to meet your needs, whether that means processing difficult experiences, building coping skills, or simply having a space where you can talk openly and feel understood, I will be there to support you.
In sessions I will draw from evidence based approaches while keeping our work grounded in real, human connection. My goal is to help you feel more supported, gain insight, and move toward lasting change at your own pace.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it's completely normal to feel a mix of emotions going into your first session. My goal is to make that first session feel as comfortable and as low-pressure as possible.
In our first session we will spend time getting to know each other. I will ask a few questions about what is bringing you in, your background, and what you are looking to get out of therapy. We will also talk about what working together may look like and you will have space to ask any questions you may have. Finally, we will set some goals for treatment and will start working, at your pace, toward those goals.
