Great to meet you!

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 17 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families explore what really matters to them and move toward meaningful change. My work focuses on helping people clarify what they want and understand the emotional patterns that hold them back. I specialize in issues related to depression, anxiety, stress, and substance use, and I bring warmth, insight, and practical tools to every session.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, warm, and tailored to your needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — a proven, practical method — to help you see the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to change patterns that don’t serve you. I also draw from psychodynamic and relational approaches to help you better understand how your history and relationships shape who you are today.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we’ll identify the issues you’d like to address, explore their meaning, and work toward solutions that help you feel more at ease and more aligned with yourself. My goal is to help you build clarity, confidence, and practical tools you can carry forward into your day-to-day life.
