Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals across healthcare and community-based settings. My background includes working with high-acuity populations, leadership roles in care coordination, and teaching at the collegiate level. I specialize in helping high-functioning individuals navigate stress, burnout, anxiety, and major life or professional transitions.

My approach is structured, thoughtful, and grounded in helping clients build clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable ways of functioning. I value creating a space that feels both supportive and intentional where you can slow down, gain insight, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is structured, grounded, and focused on helping you build clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable ways of functioning. I integrate evidence-based practices with a practical, real-life lens so our work is not only insightful, but applicable to your day-to-day experiences.

I work collaboratively with clients to slow things down, understand patterns, and develop intentional responses to stress, pressure, and emotional overwhelm. My style is calm, direct, and supportive, creating a space where you can process openly while also gaining tools to move forward with greater stability and confidence.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a calm, structured space where we begin to understand what’s bringing you in and what you need most right now. We will explore your current experiences, identify key stressors or patterns, and begin clarifying your goals for our work together.

My focus is on helping you feel both supported and clear. By the end of the session, you can expect a better understanding of where you are, what may be contributing to your challenges, and a sense of direction for how we will move forward at a pace that feels manageable and intentional.
