LCSW, 20 years of experience
Are you dealing with daily anxiety, sadness, stress, trauma, or difficult life transitions? Do you long for peace but feel unsure how to attain it? Life often brings unexpected challenges, stressors, and emotional exhaustion. It’s common to experience a range of emotional and behavioral struggles, both individually and in relationships, throughout different phases of life. Sometimes, all you need is a safe space to release, restore, and reflect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but reaching out is a brave and important step—you deserve support and healing. In our sessions, I’ll meet you with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your coping skills, and help you move toward a life where you feel more balanced, empowered, and able to thrive. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
In our first session, we’ll focus on creating a safe and supportive space for you to share your story at your own pace. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you — whether it’s anxiety, past trauma, or current challenges — and talk about what you hope to achieve in therapy. I’ll ask gentle questions to better understand your experiences and triggers, and we’ll discuss tools and strategies that can help you feel more grounded and in control. Together, we’ll create a plan that supports your healing and growth, so you leave feeling understood and hopeful about the path ahead.
Although I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel seen and understood. I work to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to cope and grow. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering your strengths and building resilience so you can move forward with confidence and a greater sense of balance.
My ideal clients are adults who are ready to explore their emotions and experiences, even if they aren’t sure where to begin. I work best with individuals feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, major life changes, or relationship conflicts, and who are seeking a safe space to process their thoughts and feelings. Whether you’re navigating a difficult transition, healing from past pain, or wanting to build healthier connections, I’m here to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you take steps toward growth, healing, and lasting change.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Through CBT, we work together to develop practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills that can be applied in daily life. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
I use relational therapy to help clients explore their relationships and understand how connections with others impact their emotions and behaviors. Together, we examine patterns, improve communication, and foster healthier interactions. My goal is to help clients build stronger, more supportive relationships and gain insight into themselves through their connections with others.
I use narrative therapy to help clients explore the stories they tell about their lives and how these stories shape their identity and experiences. Together, we examine and reframe these narratives to highlight strengths, values, and possibilities for change. My goal is to empower clients to rewrite their story in a way that supports healing, growth, and resilience.
I provide a supportive approach by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I meet each person with empathy and compassion, helping them explore challenges at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, gain clarity, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
