Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in evidence‐based therapy and experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. I provide a warm, supportive space where we work together to understand your challenges and build practical tools for healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

I take a structured, evidence‐based approach to therapy, integrating modalities such as cognitive‐behavioral strategies, mindfulness‐based interventions, and trauma‐informed practices. I help clients understand how their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact, and we work together to develop clear, achievable goals.

Sessions are active and collaborative — you’ll leave with insights, tools, and strategies you can apply in your daily life. My focus is on helping you build resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and create lasting change

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you — your story, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I create a calm, welcoming environment where you can speak openly at your own pace.

We’ll explore your goals, discuss any immediate concerns, and begin identifying the patterns or challenges you’d like support with. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with; the first session is about building trust, establishing a foundation, and helping you feel grounded and understood.
