Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and supporting individuals navigating a cancer diagnosis. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical tools for lasting change. I create a warm, compassionate space where clients feel safe to be honest and work at their own pace. I believe that asking for help is an act of courage, and I am committed to walking alongside each person with care and respect.

My approach to therapy

My approach is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) based, warm and nurturing in tone, and focused on helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical, evidence-based strategies for change, all within a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will be conversational and relaxed, so there is no need to feel nervous or prepare anything in advance. We will spend our time getting to know each other as I learn about your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you are hoping to work on. I want you to feel comfortable and unpressured, so you are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel ready for. By the end of our session, we will have a clearer picture of where you are and begin mapping out a direction that feels right for you.
