Reaching out for support is a courageous first step, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with ADHD, navigating depression, processing trauma, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way of the life you want and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with clients facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized because I believe there is no "one-size-fits-all" path to healing. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions to meet each client where they are. I have a special passion for helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I especially enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves, build healthier coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and create more balanced, fulfilling relationships. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to handle life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience. My hope is that therapy becomes more than a place to talk—it becomes a place to heal, grow, and discover your own strengths. Wherever you are in your journey, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding, and practical support so that together we can build the life you want, one step at a time.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then discuss what challenges you are facing. What do you feel like is getting in the way of feeling happy and fulfilled? This will help us to identify specific goals for therapy and develop a plan to reach each goal.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and themselves. I believe that meaningful change happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and genuine connection. My clients often appreciate that I balance empathy with practical guidance, helping them not only process difficult experiences but also leave each session with skills they can begin using in everyday life. I take an individualized, strengths-based approach, recognizing that every person's story is unique. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I help clients identify their existing strengths, build resilience, and develop realistic strategies for managing life's challenges. I enjoy breaking down overwhelming situations into manageable steps and teaching evidence-based coping skills that promote lasting emotional growth. My goal is for clients to leave therapy feeling more empowered, self-aware, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who is ready to better understand themselves and make meaningful, lasting changes, even if they're not sure where to begin. They may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition and find themselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally struggle with self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from who they truly are. They want more than just symptom relief—they want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of their lives. If you're looking for a therapist who will listen without judgment, help you gain insight, and teach practical skills you can use every day, we may be a great fit. Together, we'll work toward helping you build resilience, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

I have spent many years working with youth and adults who have underwent significant trauma in their lives. All of my interactions with clients are done with the understanding that each person I meet could have been and may still be impacted by trauma. Making sure each client feels physically and emotionally safe when we meet is foundational to everything else that happens in the therapeutic relationship.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is simply being present in the moment, noticing our feelings without judgement. We live in a very fast paced world full of constant pressure to do more and be more. Being mindful of our own self and learning acceptance is a pathway for us to begin loving ourselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I like to use CBT to better understand ourselves. Recognizing how our thoughts are connected to our emotions and our actions helps us feel empowered to take an active role in our mental health.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Sometimes we feel that we have no control over our emotions, or maybe we find ourselves operating solely through logic, detached from our feelings. I have used DBT with youth and with adults alike to help them find the balance between these two extremes. Through DBT techniques, we can identify our feelings and learn to manage feelings of discomfort when we recognize and accept our that our feelings come and go.

Eclectic

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Since each individual is different and unique, my therapeutic approach typically combines several different treatment methods to meet you where you are and provide a safe, nurturing, therapeutic space to grow and heal.

She was really nice and made me feel completely comfortable. She was very understanding and really took the time to listen without judgment. I felt like I could be myself around her, and that made it easier to open up. She created a safe, calming space where I felt supported and heard.
