Hello! I'm a licensed clinical social worker committed to providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to create meaningful change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My goal is to help you build practical coping skills, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and focused on creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges at your own pace. I primarily use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness techniques to help build emotional regulation, coping skills, and insight. I work with clients to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen resilience, and develop practical tools they can apply in daily life. My focus is on meeting you where you are and supporting meaningful, sustainable change.

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space focused on building rapport and getting to know your story at a comfortable pace. We’ll review what brings you to therapy, discuss current concerns, and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. I also gather relevant background information to better understand your needs and ensure treatment is tailored to you. The goal of the first session is to create a strong therapeutic connection and lay the foundation for a collaborative and supportive working relationship.
