Great to meet you!

As an LSCW, I have worked in addiction and mental health for the last 6 years. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have always wanted to start my own private practice since I started my social work career.

I work with adults to navigate anxiety, depression, relationship issues, codependency, transitional phases, and burnout. I will always meet you where you're at but also challenge you when needed!

My approach to therapy

Therapy can be intimidating and you can be unsure on where to start but it doesn't have to be scary! I help guide the way to unpack everything you have been holding in a productive and safe way. Therapy is a process and you may have toi pace yourself but I will help with this.

I lean conversational and relational. I'll meet you where you are and gently push when it serves your growth, because real change usually means getting a little uncomfortable in a safe space.

I'm skills-focused, drawing from CBT, DBT, trauma focused and relational dynamics and communication styles to give you practical tools you can actually use — not just insight, but a real sense of what to do with it.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a get to know you sessions! I want tohear what YOU want to get out of therapy and what you have been holding onto.

If you have been to therapy before and know what doesn't work then tell me, I am never goign to be offended, knowledge is key for making this experience the best for you. IF you're new, don't be afraid to ask questions, this is your therapy!
