Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults, couples, teens, and families. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, life transitions, stress management, self-esteem, and adjustment difficulties.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs, goals, experiences, and strengths.

What you can expect from me

I recognize that seeking therapy can feel intimidating, so I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgmental, compassionate, and authentic. Whether you are working through a difficult season, trying to understand patterns that are no longer serving you, or simply looking for support and personal growth, we will work together to identify your goals and develop a path forward that feels realistic and meaningful to you.
