HI! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work and over 10 years of experience working in behavioral health and human services. My professional background includes more than a decade working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), where I supported children and families with a variety of behavioral and developmental needs. I also have experience providing talk therapy and have spent more than three years working in homeless services, supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges, housing instability, and other life stressors.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. I work with clients to better understand their challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and identify meaningful steps toward their personal goals. And humor is a must!

During our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other and complete an initial intake to better understand what brings you to therapy and what you would like support with. We’ll discuss your current concerns, your strengths, and the goals you would like to work toward in treatment.

I aim to create a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll develop a treatment approach that feels appropriate for you and your needs.

Throughout our work together, I will regularly check in with you about how therapy is going, make sure we’re working toward goals that feel meaningful to you, and adjust our approach when needed.

My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and involved in your own therapeutic process.
