Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years or experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. With a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges, I also specialize in providing tailored therapeutic support that empowers clients to achieve personal growth and emotional well-being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

With a background in both individual and family therapy, I pride myself with being passionate about helping clients overcome obstacles, build healthy coping mechanisms, and improve overall mental health. By integrating a holistic, client-centered approach, I tailor treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each person, ensuring that therapy is both effective and empowering.

What you can expect from our first session

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and stress management. A typical treatment plan may involve evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength-based techniques. You can expect to gain emotional resilience, improved coping skills, and greater self-awareness gradually within the first month.
