Great to meet you!

I help adults manage anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions using a warm, collaborative approach. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy works best when it feels safe, grounded, and connected to real life.

I’ve spent much of my career working in community mental health, which has shaped my ability to work thoughtfully with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. I take a relational, trauma-informed approach, drawing from psychodynamic and evidence-based practices to help clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and grounded in curiosity. I work from a trauma-informed lens to help clients understand their story, notice patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build tools that support balance, growth, and meaningful connection in daily life.

I aim to create a space that feels safe, thoughtful, and supportive—where we can explore both present-day challenges and deeper experiences at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what led you to seek therapy at this point in your life. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.

We’ll begin to clarify what you’re hoping to get out of therapy and start building a sense of trust and collaboration, so you leave with a clearer sense of direction for our work together.
