LCSW, 5 years of experience
I’m a compassionate and client-centered therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. With years of experience in providing support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, I use evidence-based techniques to empower clients to better understand themselves and build lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique journey toward healing and growth.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and understand your goals for therapy. I’ll ask you about what’s brought you to seek support, and together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and what you hope to achieve in our work together. It’s a space for you to share your story at your own pace, and there’s no pressure to dive into anything too heavy right away. I believe in creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe and supported. During our first meeting, we’ll also discuss logistics, such as confidentiality, session structure, and what you can expect going forward. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, understood, and clear about how we’ll work together to move toward your therapeutic goals. It’s a starting point - where we lay the foundation for building trust, understanding, and progress in the work we’ll do together.
What sets me apart is my deeply empathetic and collaborative approach. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. I use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but I also draw on my intuition to help you navigate your personal challenges with compassion and insight. My clients often appreciate my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard and understood, and many find that they make meaningful progress more quickly than they expected. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, as I believe that trust and connection are key to lasting change.
I work best with individuals who are seeking meaningful change in their lives and are open to exploring new perspectives. My ideal clients include those struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or life transitions. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming emotions, navigating a difficult relationship, or looking to understand past trauma, I am here to guide you toward healing and growth. I also specialize in supporting individuals who feel stuck or disconnected from their sense of self, and those who want to develop healthier coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and build stronger emotional resilience. My clients are motivated to invest in their well-being, whether that means finding peace with their past or creating a more balanced future. If you’re looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns and work toward lasting change, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
I will utilize CBT to assist in reframing thoughts that align with your goals.
I practice warm regard and positive acceptance to build engagement throughout the therapeutic process.
