New to Grow
Hi! I'm happy you found me! Congratulation on starting this journey. It may not feel easy. My goal is to help clients navigate stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges with clarity and confidence. I offer a warm, grounded space where you can feel supported, understood, and equipped to create meaningful change in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I received my Master's in Social Work from University of Pennsylvania and have worked in many different capacities as a Social Worker. I have experience working in K-12 schools as a school social worker and at the University level coaching students. I've trained in a hospital, schools, inpatient facilities, private practice, and in a University setting.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll listen carefully, answer your questions, and work with you to start building a supportive, personalized plan for growth and coping.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What makes my approach stand out—especially for young adults and adults—is the balance of evidence-based tools with genuine warmth, an open mind, and a sense of humor that keeps therapy feeling human and approachable. I meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re figuring out who you are, overwhelmed by big emotions, or navigating school, work, relationships, or major life transitions. Using practical skills from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based therapy, I help you build insight and learn strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and better equipped to handle stress, set boundaries, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and authentic. I have a passion to help people find their truth and then take those insights to develop what they want in life. I have worked with all populations of clients, and it is amazing to guide another person to finding what makes them glow and create satisfaction in their lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m especially passionate about supporting young adults and adults who are navigating big emotions, responsibilities, and major life changes. My ideal clients are those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps and want a space where they can be honest, supported, and understood. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, identity questions, or the pressures of school and career life, I work best with individuals who are open to learning practical coping skills, building confidence, and creating a more grounded, balanced version of themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our work together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns, explore how they influence daily life, and practice practical skills to create meaningful change. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, often incorporating thought-tracking, cognitive reframing, and behavioral strategies such as exposure or behavioral activation. I provide structured tools to support clients between sessions so they can build confidence, gain insight, and develop long-term coping skills. My approach is warm, empowering, and focused on helping clients create sustainable shifts in how they think, feel, and show up in their lives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is an evidence-supported approach that blends traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness practices such as breath awareness, grounding, and non-judgmental observation of thoughts and emotions. I use it to help clients build greater present-moment awareness, reduce stress, and develop healthier responses to difficult feelings. By learning to notice internal experiences rather than react automatically, individuals cultivate resilience, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of calm and clarity.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In my practice, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop practical skills for navigating intense emotions, improving relationships, and building distress tolerance. I focus on grounding clients in mindfulness, teaching them to observe their internal experiences without judgment, while also introducing concrete tools from the emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness modules. By balancing acceptance with meaningful behavior change, I support clients in moving toward greater stability, resilience, and self-compassion.
