Great to meet you!

Are you an overthinker with a calendar full of responsibilities and a patience level that's hanging on by a thread?


Maybe you're the person everyone depends on, the one who usually keeps it all together, but lately even the little things feel like a lot. You're overwhelmed, replaying conversations in your head, or finding yourself reacting in ways that leave you wondering, "Why did I respond like that?" Sound familiar?


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals navigate anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as yourself, feel understood, and maybe even share a laugh along the way.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and relationships are deeply connected. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT-informed skills, and mindfulness, while tailoring our work to your individual needs.

Together, we'll get curious about the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, explore what's happening beneath the surface, and develop practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, communicate your needs, and strengthen your relationships.

Therapy isn't about becoming someone else. It's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can respond to life's challenges with greater awareness, confidence, and intention.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what life has been feeling like lately, and what you're hoping to gain from our time together. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, relationships, and the challenges you're navigating, but there's no pressure to share everything all at once.

My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. We'll begin identifying what matters most to you and explore how we can work together toward meaningful change.

You don't need to have it all figured out. Just come as you are. We'll start there.
