Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but I strive to make the process easier by creating a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, I offer a practical, down-to-earth approach that meets you where you are.My clients appreciate that I'm genuine, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. Therapy with me is a collaboration—I’m here to help you process emotions, untangle patterns, and build strategies that make sense for your life. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and we’ll work together to create a plan that aligns with your needs and goals. I also understand the complexities of identity, relationships, and navigating life’s pressures, especially for young to middle aged adults who are juggling careers, personal growth, and interpersonal dynamics. If you’re feeling unseen, unheard, or just need space to sort things out, you don’t have to do it alone.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
From our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. We'll start by exploring what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to gain, and what approaches might be most helpful for you. You’ll leave with a better understanding of where we’re headed, concrete next steps, and a sense of relief that you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about gaining insight, building real-world coping tools, and making meaningful changes. You can expect a mix of thoughtful reflection, practical strategies, and supportive accountability as you work toward your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Creating a judgment-free zone where you can be real about what’s going on. Helping you untangle relationship dynamics—whether it’s romantic, family, or workplace stress. Guiding you through life transitions with clarity and confidence. Equipping you with practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and overwhelmed. Providing an honest, down-to-earth approach—no therapy jargon, just real conversations.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts shape how we experience the world, and sometimes, unhelpful thought patterns can keep us feeling stuck. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—helping you recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach to CBT, focusing on real-world strategies that you can apply in daily life. Together, we’ll work on identifying negative thought loops, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and replacing them with more balanced, constructive perspectives. This isn’t about forced positivity—it’s about giving you tools to navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in anxious thoughts about the future or regrets from the past. Mindfulness-Based Therapy helps you slow down, tune in, and respond to life with more awareness and intention. In our work together, I integrate practical mindfulness techniques—like simple breathing exercises, guided reflection, and body awareness—to help you develop a stronger connection to the present moment. No need to be an expert in meditation—this is about finding small, manageable ways to quiet the mental noise and build a greater sense of self-compassion.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Sometimes, you don’t need to relive the past—you just need a clear plan to move forward. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is all about identifying what’s working, building on your strengths, and creating actionable steps to help you get where you want to be. If you’re feeling stuck, this approach helps cut through the overwhelm and focus on practical, achievable solutions. Instead of endlessly analyzing problems, we’ll zero in on what’s within your control, set clear goals, and develop strategies that create real change.
