Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that healing happens through genuine connection, compassion, and collaboration. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, and I believe one of the most important parts of the process is finding someone you're comfortable with. I work with teens, young adults, and adults, creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood and accepted. My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges while building practical skills and greater confidence in yourself.

Get to know me

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

During our first session, my priority is getting to know you and understanding what has brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your current concerns, your personal history and what you hope to gain from our work together. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and get a feel for whether we're a good fit. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and with a clearer sense of how we can move forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted. I balance compassion with honesty. I offer support while gently challenging unhelpful patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build insight, develop coping strategies, and create lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive space to explore your experiences and develop the tools needed to move forward with confidence. Together we can work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of balance in your life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using CBT, I help clients explore how the way we think about our experiences can impact our emotions and actions. We will work together to identify patterns that may no longer be serving you and develop tools to manage these challenges and support positive change.

Compassion Focused

I incorporate Compassion Focused Therapy to help clients develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. Together, we will explore self-criticism, shame and difficult emotions while building skills to promote emotional resilience and greater understanding of your own experiences.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Through mindfulness-based techniques, I help clients slow down, increase self-awareness, and develop a more balanced relationship with their thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to avoid difficult experiences, we work together to build skills that encourage acceptance, resilience, and a greater sense of calm and connection.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify their strengths, recognize what is already working, and develop practical steps toward meaningful change. Together, we will focus on your goals and build on the skills and resources you already have to create positive progress.

Trauma Informed Care

My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize safety, trust, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. I recognize the impact that difficult experiences can have on emotional well-being and work with clients to better understand their experiences, build resilience, and develop tools for healing and growth.
