Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. I strive to create a warm, affirming environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves while gaining new perspectives, insight, and support as they work toward their goals.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be tailored to each person's unique experiences and goals. I use a variety of approaches, including CBT and psychodynamic therapy, to help clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Together, we'll build on your strengths, work through challenges, and create lasting growth.

What you can expect from me

Your first session with me is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what's bringing you to therapy. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start. Together, we'll explore your concerns, identify goals, and discuss what supports might be most helpful for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.
