I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, identity exploration, and difficult life transitions. I also have experience working with adolescents and understand the unique emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that can come during those years.

I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely safe, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a space where clients can show up honestly without fear of judgment. I know that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or vulnerable, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own, and I take seriously the trust it takes to open up to another person.

I am an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and believe deeply in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where clients can explore their experiences authentically. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s individual story and lived experience.

Much of my work centers around helping people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. Whether someone is navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or major life stressors, I aim to help them feel less alone while working toward meaningful and lasting change.

Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Research consistently shows that a strong connection between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy. Because of that, I place a high value on building a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, collaboration, and authenticity.

I offer a place to slow down, reflect, and work together on what’s holding you back and what can lead you toward clarity, confidence, and a life that feels fun and fulfilling again. You don’t have to navigate it alone—I’m here to support you as you find your way forward.

If you're carrying something that still shows up when you least expect it, the memory that tightens your chest, the anxiety that won't switch off, or the feeling that a past experience is still steering your present, you don't have to keep pushing through it alone. I work with adults and young adults who are ready to feel less controlled by what happened to them and more like themselves again. Many of the people I see have done talk therapy before and are curious whether EMDR could finally help them move through what's kept them stuck

As a therapist, I'm naturally solution-focused, but I also know that lasting change doesn't happen by rushing past the hard stuff. I like to find a balance between processing and problem-solving. Sometimes that means helping clients unpack what's been weighing on them, make sense of their experiences, or connect the dots between past and present. Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves and figuring out what practical steps they can take to start feeling better and moving forward.

I don't believe therapy should be a place where you come in week after week and just talk without seeing any growth. At the same time, I don't believe in jumping straight to solutions before someone has had the opportunity to feel heard and understood. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build skills, and make meaningful changes while honoring where they are in the process.

I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and genuine in my approach. I want clients to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves into the room—the messy parts, the uncertain parts, and the parts they're still trying to figure out. I believe some of the best work happens when people feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to take risks.

Above all, I see therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable for you.
