LCSW, 5 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a licensed mental health professional with years of experience working with both youth and adults facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. My practice is grounded in compassion and a genuine commitment to helping clients feel understood and supported as they work toward positive change. I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where healing, growth, and resilience can take root.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where we’ll get to know each other and identify your unique needs and goals. I’ll listen closely to your concerns and begin building a plan that draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help you feel supported and empowered from the start.
What sets my approach apart is my ability to create a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I combine evidence-based methods such as CBT with mindfulness and practical skill-building to help clients not only manage emotions but also achieve lasting improvements in daily life. My greatest strength lies in instilling hope, fostering resilience, and supporting meaningful change.
I work best with individuals and families who are seeking a supportive, structured, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Whether you are navigating overwhelming emotions, struggling with daily functioning, or looking to build stronger coping and social skills, I aim to provide tools and guidance that foster growth, resilience, and long-term success.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my outpatient practice as it is an evidence-based, structured, and goal-directed modality proven effective across a wide range of presenting concerns. My professional background and experience have centered on CBT as a primary focus, which has provided me with a strong foundation in helping clients identify and reframe maladaptive thought patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve meaningful behavioral change. Continuing to use CBT in this setting allows me to apply a consistent, research-supported framework that aligns with both my clinical expertise and the needs of the clients I serve.
