I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds and believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where healing and growth can take place. I specialize in anxiety, depression trauma, grief, and couples therapy. My approach is collaborative, and I believe in empowering my clients to develop healthier coping strategies, a greater understanding of themselves, and skills for overcoming life’s challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with young professionals for the past 7 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client. Whether you are seeking support for emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, or personal growth, I am here to provide guidance and support on your journey.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT) is a therapeutic approach grounded in attachment theory, which was first developed by British psychologist John Bowlby. This type of therapy focuses on the ways in which early relationships—especially with primary caregivers—shape a person’s emotional development and patterns in later relationships. In Attachment-Based Therapy, the therapist helps individuals understand how their attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized) influence their behaviors, feelings, and relationships. The aim is to heal past relational wounds, build a more secure sense of self, and improve the individual’s current and future relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Helping clients recognize and change negative thought patterns that affect their mood and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely-used, evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress or mental health issues. It operates on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by changing negative thought patterns, we can change our emotions and behaviors as well.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy is a form of counseling designed to help individuals navigate the complex emotional, psychological, and social responses to loss, typically after the death of a loved one. However, it can also be helpful for any type of significant loss, such as the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or a major life change. Grief therapy aims to help people process their grief in a healthy way, allowing them to honor the memory of the person or thing they’ve lost, while also adjusting to life without them. It recognizes that grief is unique to each person and can unfold in many different ways, over varying periods of time.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Guiding clients to be present and non-judgmental with their thoughts and feelings, which can reduce stress and anxiety.s a therapeutic approach that incorporates mindfulness practices—such as meditation and present-moment awareness—into the therapeutic process. The idea is to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in the present moment, without judgment. This awareness fosters greater emotional regulation, reduces stress, and promotes a sense of well-being. MBT is often used to treat a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and trauma. It draws heavily from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which was developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which blends traditional cognitive therapy with mindfulness techniques.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Helping clients develop solutions for immediate problems and move toward practical goals.s a brief, goal-oriented therapy that centers on finding solutions to current problems rather than delving deeply into the past. The focus is on what the client wants to achieve in the present and future, rather than analyzing the causes of their issues or past experiences. It is rooted in the belief that clients have the resources and strengths within themselves to solve their problems, and the therapist's role is to help them access and build upon these strengths.
