Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with experience in both private practice and inpatient hospital settings. I enjoy building strong, positive relationships with my clients and using humor to help foster connection in session. I’m human too — I strive to be a relatable and approachable therapist, creating an open, collaborative, honest, and supportive space where you can be yourself without filtering.

My approach to therapy

I create a welcoming and relaxed environment where you can feel at ease being yourself. I enjoy bringing authenticity, humor, and a little quirkiness to sessions, which helps break down barriers and makes it easier to connect. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, seen, and supported.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, expect a relaxed and welcoming environment where we'll get to know each other. I'll ask about your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll discuss any concerns or questions and begin setting initial goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
