Great to meet you!
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I see people as more than their symptoms. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to validate lived experiences. Together, we work through anxiety, depression, grief, and life’s challenges.

My approach to therapy
My approach to therapy is authentic, compassionate, and grounded in meeting clients where they are. I believe in creating a genuine connection built on trust and openness. When appropriate, I use self-disclosure thoughtfully to foster relatability and deepen understanding, always with the client's growth and healing in mind.
What you can expect from me
The first visit usually consists of getting to know each other and what brings you to therapy at this point in your life, and your views on how I may be able to support you. We will move at your own pace and comfort level.
