LCSW, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with self-esteem. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging.
Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? I work with young adults who are managing anxiety, depression, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.
By creating a non-judgmental, accepting space where the client feels safe expressing their feelings without fear of criticism or rejection. By actively listening and trying to understand the client’s experience from their perspective. And helping the client explore their values, strengths, and personal goals—not just symptom relief.
I gently help the client explore how their current behavior (drinking) conflicts with their broader goals or values. I emphasize the client’s strengths and past successes, helping them believe change is possible.
