Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults. My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. I integrate evidence‐based practices with a warm, practical style that helps clients feel understood while gaining tools they can use outside of sessions. My goal is to create a supportive, grounded space where you can explore challenges safely and make meaningful progress toward your personal and therapeutic goals.

My approach to therapy

I meet clients where they are, honoring their pace, resilience, and lived experience. Drawing from mindfulness practices, CBT, and DBT, I create individualized treatment plans that support self‐awareness, emotional regulation, and practical skill‐building. Each person’s journey is unique, and my role is to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

What you can expect from me

I recognize that asking for help is often one of the hardest steps someone can take. In my work, I strive to make that process feel safe, validating, and empowering. I want people to know they don’t have to navigate their journey by themselves; support is always within reach.
