I'm a licensed social worker with a gentle, warm, and collaborative approach. I offer a safe, supportive space for people to talk through what’s going on in their lives, explore their experiences, and move toward healing and growth. Together, we'll work to understand patterns, make sense of your experiences and emotions, and support your growth in a way that's meaningful to you.
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask some questions to learn more about what you’re hoping to get from therapy, and you’re welcome to share whatever feels comfortable. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, compassionate, and free of pressure—so you can begin at your own pace.
I bring a calm, compassionate presence to therapy and meet each person where they're at. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered and CBT approaches to help clients connect the dots between past and present, explore their experiences more deeply, and make sense of what they’re going through. My experience in community mental health has taught me how to show up fully for people in all kinds of circumstances, and how powerful it can be just to feel truly seen and heard.
I enjoy working with people who are ready to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and understand how their past impacts their present. My clients often feel stuck or overwhelmed as they process difficult feelings and experiences. They’re looking for support, guidance, and a safe space to gain new insights and move forward in a way that feels authentic to them.
Humanistic therapy guides my practice in that I see therapy as a relationship, not a set of techniques. I believe you are the expert in your own experience. I focus on creating a space to make you feel heard, accepted, and safe as you explore what matters to you.
