I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping people feel more grounded, confident, and supported. I have extensive experience working with adults and older adults from various backgrounds facing emotional issues and complicated medical conditions. I specialize in supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and caregiver stress, as well as those seeking guidance in building healthier relationships and improving self-esteem. My work is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration-creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will have a chance to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust and understanding. I'll start by learning about you- what brings you to therapy, what you'd like to work on, and what your goals or hopes are for our time together. Clients can expect to receive empathy and nonjudgmental support. I meet my clients where they are, create a safe space where they feel safe to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without fear of judgment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on real-life change. I blend evidence-based methods-especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-with a warm, supportive style that helps clients feel both understood and empowered. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to make complex ideas feel clear and manageable. I help people connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and then guide them in practicing new skills that promote lasting growth. What stands out most in my work is my balance of empathy and practicality. I don't just listen-I help you develop tools and insights you can use outside of therapy to improve your daily life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to make positive changes in their lives, even if they're not sure where to start. They may be feeling stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry, and are seeking a safe, supportive space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I use a collaborative approach-blending practical tools like CBT and mindfulness with genuine empathy-to help you manage stress, improve relationships, and navigate changes with more ease. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping them stuck. I help clients explore the thoughts and beliefs that influence how they feel and behave. I help clients develop new, more balanced ways of thinking and coping-so clients can manage stress, support their life transitions, reduce anxiety or depression, and make meaningful progress toward their goals.
