About me

Feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed? You've come to the right place. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience. With dual master's degrees in leadership and social work, I specialize in helping people navigate work and life challenges, bringing collaborative guidance and support tailored to your needs. Whether you're facing academic pressure, career burnout, daily stressors, life transitions, or relationship concerns, I can help you explore solutions.

Get to know me

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

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 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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to support adults seeking greater balance, insight, and resilience in their personal and professional lives. I work well with individuals who want a supportive space to better understand where they are, where they want to go, and how to move forward with purpose.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use a person-centered approach to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to offer empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals at your own pace. Together, we'll work towards fostering your personal growth and self-awareness.

Trauma Informed Care

I use a trauma-informed approach, prioritizing safety, trust, and empowerment in our work together. Recognizing that past trauma can influence your present experiences, I strive to create a space where you feel respected, supported, and in control of your healing process. This approach honors your resilience and acknowledges your unique story.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions, developing practical strategies to navigate challenges more effectively. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on building skills you can use every day.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) is designed to help you cultivate awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment without judgment. Through practices such as breathwork, guided meditation, and body awareness, MBT aims to reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and promote relaxation.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you identify your strengths and build on what’s already working in your life. Rather than focusing on problems, we’ll concentrate on your goals and the small, practical steps you can take to move forward. SFBT is future-oriented, collaborative, and designed to help you make meaningful progress.
