Great to meet you!

Do you find yourself achieving outward success yet feeling inwardly unsatisfied or burdened? Despite managing daily tasks and reaching goals, you may struggle to authentically connect with yourself, impacting your relationships, work, finances, and overall happiness. It's time to break free from this cycle! I specialize in helping individuals uncover underlying hurts, pains, and traumas that often hide behind "high-functioning" depression/anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem.

My approach to therapy

As a licensed clinical social worker grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with over 6 years of experience, I am dedicated to transforming negative thought patterns and behaviors. My approach is warm, supportive, and inquisitive. I have a knack for seeing the positive in any situation, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment where I integrate interests like reading, arts, crafts, and music/art into sessions.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and determine the best approach for your progress. CBT focuses on how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. I'll help you learn techniques to challenge and improve these patterns throughout our sessions. Let's explore and rediscover your true authentic self. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards inner healing, I invite you to take the next step.
