Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My priority is to help you achieve wellbeing in your relational, emotional, and mental health. I look forward to connecting with you on your goals for therapy, and how we can achieve them together!

My approach to therapy

My core philosophy is having a client-centered approach - making our sessions a place where you feel comfortable, and where your needs and goals are the priority. I adapt my counseling approach based on your feedback and what is working for you.

This can include: reflecting and processing in conversation; developing skills and strategies; finding solutions and problem-solving; CBT, mindfulness, art therapy, etc. I bring my entire toolbox of clinical strategies and approaches, which we adapt to best fits your needs.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be focused on getting to know each other - exploring your concerns, background, and what you would like to work on in therapy. You can expect me to listen with warmth, attentiveness, and empathy. I want to give you space to share your story, and ask questions in a comfortable and collaborative manner. From there, we will explore how our sessions can address your concerns and reach your goals for wellbeing.
