About Me

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals navigating crisis, trauma, and persistent mental health conditions.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients in reaching their goals with clarity and intention.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My style is warm, validating, and goal-oriented. I believe each person is the expert of their own experience, and I work alongside you to support change on your terms. I welcome people of all ages and backgrounds, tailoring sessions to your individual needs and strengths.

What you can expect from our first session

I begin with an introductory session, giving you the space to share your story and discuss what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and chart a path forward. My aim is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe, heard, and comfortable being open. From there, we’ll continue working collaboratively in each session to turn your goals into reality.
