Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) that works with adults and couples that struggle with panic, anxiety, stress, depression, or issues in their relationship. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard without judgment while leaving each session with practical tools that you can actually use in your daily life.

I believe therapy would be a collaborative process that is tailored to your individual need as opposed to robotic and by the book.

Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or working through a major life change, we will work together to better understand what is happening and develop strategies that help you move forward successfully.

My approach to therapy

My approach is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Rather than simply listening, I work alongside clients to identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build practical skills that create meaningful change.

Although I pull from multiple different therapeutic frameworks, I would describe myself as a therapist that utilizes person-centered, positive psychology while also utilizing Gestalt and Gottman techniques.

I value honesty, curiosity, and accountability. Together we'll celebrate progress, work through setbacks, and focus on building lasting change rather than temporary relief.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, and what you hope to accomplish through treatment.

We'll begin identifying goals that feel meaningful to you and discuss how we can work together to achieve them. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions, share your concerns, and decide whether I'm the right fit for your needs.

My hope is that you leave the first session feeling understood, with a clearer picture of where we're headed and confidence that you don't have to navigate these challenges alone.
