No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.

Great to meet you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so if you’re here, you’ve already taken a really meaningful first step.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of challenges. I specialize in working with addiction, couples and relationship concerns, family dynamics, autism-related support, and anxiety and depression.

My background includes working in both school systems and clinical settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people from many different backgrounds and life stages. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping people better understand the patterns within their relationships and families.

Many of the clients I work with are trying to improve communication with a partner or family member, navigate the impact of addiction, support a loved one on the autism spectrum, or manage feelings of anxiety and depression that are affecting daily life.

No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a space that feels supportive, honest, and human; where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
