Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I take a whole-person approach, integrating evidence-based practices with mindfulness and body-based techniques. My work is grounded in meeting you where you are and creating meaningful, sustainable progress. I aim to offer a space that feels supportive, steady, and collaborative.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and flexible, focused on helping you better understand patterns, build practical coping strategies, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT while also incorporating somatic tools when helpful, especially for managing stress and emotional overwhelm. Sessions are tailored to what feels most relevant to you, moving at a pace that supports real, lasting change. When appropriate, I also take a harm-reduction approach to support realistic and sustainable progress.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, I’ll gather information about your current concerns, relevant history, and goals for treatment. This helps us build a clear understanding of your needs and begin developing a plan that feels appropriate and manageable. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of how I work. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel comfortable engaging in the process.
