LCSW, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
Feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed? You're not alone, and you don't have to manage it on your own. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in helping people navigate day-to-day challenges, offering collaborative and compassionate support tailored to your needs. Whether you're facing academic pressure, career burnout, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ topics, relationship concerns, or some other work or life challenge, we can explore solutions to create a path forward.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, trusting working relationship. I’ll ask questions to understand what brings you to counseling, your goals, and your relevant background. You're welcome to share at your own pace, and there’s no pressure to tell your whole story right away. We’ll also talk about what counseling might look like and answer any questions. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and clear about the next steps.
My greatest strengths are creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space and working collaboratively to help you find clarity and direction. I focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies while also holding space for the deeper emotions that may arise. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard and appreciated for who they are. I aim to bring a balance of empathy, honesty, and encouragement to each session, helping you build on your strengths and move forward with confidence.
I’m best positioned to support adults seeking greater balance, insight, and resilience in their everyday lives. I work well with individuals who want a supportive space to reflect on where they are, clarify where they want to go, and move forward with greater peace and purpose.
My counseling style is eclectic, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Regardless of modality, I work from a person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed perspective, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're healing from past experiences, seeking personal growth, or looking for strategies to navigate change, we will work together to find the approaches that best support your well-being in a safe, respectful, and empowering space.
