Great to meet you!

Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their overall well-being. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress, using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). My style is supportive, collaborative, and focused on helping you build practical tools for lasting change. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure-based techniques to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I focus on building practical skills that clients can use in their everyday lives, while also creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for exploration. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual, helping them feel empowered and supported throughout the process.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
