I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My style is collaborative and tailored to your uniqueneeds, goals, and lived experiences. Whether you are managing everyday stress, persistent negativethought patterns, or interpersonal challenges, I aim to provide a supportive space to explore what isholding you back and move forward with intention.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will spend time getting to know one another, discussing what led you to seek therapy, and beginning to outline a plan for future sessions that aligns with your priorities and concerns.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is empathy paired with practical support. I work with clients to reduce symptom burden and distress by offering strategies they can apply in real life, helping therapy feel both meaningful and actionable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

An ideal client is someone who is motivated for change. I enjoy helping individuals who are new to learning how to manage their mental health or have recently received a diagnosis. I have enjoyed working with individuals who are navigating early adulthood challenges and working to become an even better version of themselves.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize CBT to discuss how to work with your thoughts. Talking through difficult situations can be essential in finding a way forward.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Sometimes when life hits us in waves it feels difficult to keep fighting. ACT helps individuals recognize what is most important and encourages take small steps towards living a life more aligned with those values. This can provide a significant level of relief.
