Great to meet you!

I’m an LCSW with 15 years of experience across a variety of treatment settings, giving me a strong foundation for working with clients at any stage of need. I specialize in supporting women, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life transitions, stressors, and the evolving challenges that come with growing into new roles and identities.

My approach to therapy

I like to think I am pretty down to earth and very much engage with clients from a place of humanity. I am also human and have had struggles and I know that everyone needs different things, so I really try to understand what someone’s experience is and what they feel like they need. This comes in the form of just natural conversation. However, I also try to help clients problem solve and find real, actionable ways to meet their goals and provide as much or as little support in that capacity as is desired.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is really about getting to know you and what you’re struggling with and it’s also about you getting to know me, my style and whether we are a good match. That’s important and I always want to make sure clients know it’s ok to “interview” me too and if they don’t feel the most comfortable that is ok.
