I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes openness and connection are essential parts of personal growth and healing. My experience includes working in both high-intensity clinical settings and private practice environments, supporting individuals across the lifespan—from children to older adults—as they navigate life’s challenges. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a genuine desire to help others feel understood. I want to walk besides you to the path of healing, then eventually, you will walk on your own.
During our first conversation, we’ll begin exploring what has brought you here—whether that’s burnout, high-functioning anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, perfectionism, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. You can expect me to ask thoughtful questions that help us better understand your story, your goals, and what you want life to feel like moving forward. We’ll discuss practical tools and strategies you can begin using right away to help manage stress, regulate emotions, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with your own needs and identity. Some of these tools will take practice but we will find tools that will fit you. Majority of my availability are late evening and on the weekends. I tried to offer the support for the busy working people. Message me if there is a time that might suite us better.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and free from judgment. I work intentionally to create an environment where clients feel emotionally safe enough to let their guard down and begin exploring what’s happening beneath the surface—not just what they’re managing day to day, but the deeper patterns, pressures, and emotions contributing to their stress, burnout, or anxiety. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in authenticity. I believe therapy should feel human, not clinical or performative. While I provide empathy and emotional support, I also gently challenge clients in ways that encourage growth, self-awareness, and meaningful change. I want to help them better understand themselves, reconnect with their identity and needs, and build healthier ways of navigating relationships, boundaries, stress, and self-expectations.
Many of my clients are used to being the dependable and capable ones in their circles, but they often struggle to slow down, set boundaries, or prioritize their own well-being without a heavy sense of guilt.. My goal is to help you move beyond just "getting through the day" by identifying the patterns that keep you stuck in a cycle of over-functioning. Together, we will work to silence the inner critic that demands perfection, helping you reconnect with your own voice and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

I have experience integrating MI across individual therapy sessions, particularly with clients experiencing ambivalence related to behavioral change, anxiety, and life transitions. I frequently incorporate MI strategies when clients feel “stuck” or uncertain about next steps, helping them move toward self-directed goals.
I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel fully accepted and heard. I use empathic reflection and attunement to help clients deepen their awareness of thoughts and emotions
I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of a trauma-informed. Before beginning reprocessing, I prioritize establishing safety, strengthening coping skills, and ensuring clients have the resources needed to engage in the process effectively. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I recognize that every client progresses at a different pace, so I tailor treatment to each person's readiness, goals, and unique experiences.
