Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in the mental health field, in a private practice setting and a hospital setting. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, anger management concerns, grief, and life transitions. I have experience providing individual and family counseling, including working with first responders and older adults. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

My approach to therapy

My counseling approach is strength-based and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I believe that everyone has strengths and the ability to grow, even during life's most difficult seasons. Together, we can explore challenges, develop practical coping strategies, build on your existing strengths, and work toward the changes that matter the most to you.

What you can expect from me

Starting counseling can feel intimidating, especially if you are unsure what to expect. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, welcomed, and supported from the very beginning. You do not need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. We will take things at your pace, and you are always welcome to share only what feels comfortable. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the progress we can make together.
