Great to meet you!

Healing begins when you have a space where you don't have to carry everything alone. I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions rediscover hope and regain a sense of control and purpose for their life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored specifically to meet your unique needs. Together, we'll identify the root causes of challenges you're facing, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful lasting change. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to become the version of yourself you've always envisioned. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience and extensive experience working with trauma survivors, relationship violence, veterans, and individuals navigating complex life challenges, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session. I tailor therapy to each individual by using evidenced-based therapy approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) , and strength-based interventions to best support your goals. Let's start your journey today!

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about building connection, trust, and understanding. My expectation is not for you to open up completely on the first meeting, however I would like to build on a foundation that allows up to maximize the experience and our work together. I'll invite you to share what's been challenging for you lately and what you are hoping to get out of our time together. We will explore your background, any supports you may already have, and the goals that you want to work toward. We will identify problem areas and potential treatment options. You can expect a light-hearted, calm, and respectful environment where your voice leads the process. Together, we will move at a pace that honors your comfort as we begin to enter a direction toward change.
