I'm an LCSW with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s heavy seasons. My passion lies in working alongside adolescents, young adults, and adults who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or past trauma. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors or feel like your usual coping mechanisms are no longer working, I provide a grounded, practical space to help you get unstuck.
My therapeutic approach is heavily strengths-based and solution-focused. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model; instead, we will look closely at what you are already doing well and build upon those internal resources. By blending conversational, trauma-informed support with real-world coping skills (drawing from CBT and IFS), we will actively collaborate to create a personalized toolbox. This ensures you can proactively handle everyday challenges with more confidence and less overwhelm.
In our very first session, our main goal is to slow down, build rapport, and help you feel completely safe. We will naturally get to know each other and discuss the exact issues that brought you to counseling. There is zero pressure to have everything figured out. We will simply lay out your personal goals and start mapping out the most appropriate, manageable path forward together.
