(she/her)
I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker who helps adults and adolescents work through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My approach is supportive, practical, and goal-oriented. I focus on helping you understand what’s going on, build coping skills that actually work, and make meaningful changes at your own pace.
Our first session is about getting to know you and what you need. We’ll talk about: What’s bringing you to therapy What you want to change or improve Any immediate stressors or concerns You can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. We’ll also start identifying next steps so you leave with some direction—not just more questions.
I create a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being honest. I believe real change starts with a strong, trusting relationship—and I take that seriously. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with a focus on your strengths and real-life experiences. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, addiction, or feeling stuck, I’ll help you build practical tools, shift unhelpful patterns, and move forward in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.
I work best with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns they can’t seem to break. You may be dealing with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, relationship stress, or major life changes—and you’re ready for something to actually improve, not just talk about it. My ideal clients are open to learning new tools, exploring patterns, and taking small, realistic steps toward change—even if they’re unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out—just a willingness to show up and be honest.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help you move forward without getting stuck in everything that’s gone wrong. Instead of focusing only on the problem, we’ll identify what’s already working, build on your strengths, and set clear, realistic goals. We’ll look at small, practical steps you can take right away to create change. This approach is especially helpful if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start—it keeps therapy focused, hopeful, and actionable.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help you work through feeling stuck, unsure, or conflicted about change. Instead of pushing or telling you what to do, I help you explore your own reasons for change and build confidence in your ability to follow through. This approach is especially helpful if you feel torn, unmotivated, or unsure where to start. Together, we focus on small, realistic steps that align with what actually matters to you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected—and how to change patterns that aren’t working. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful thinking, build coping strategies, and create small, realistic changes that improve how you feel day-to-day. You’ll also learn practical tools you can use outside of sessions. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and negative self-talk.
Strength-Based
I take a strengths-based approach, which means we focus on what’s working—not just what’s wrong. Even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, you already have strengths, resilience, and past successes we can build on. Together, we’ll identify those, use them to guide your goals, and help you feel more confident in your ability to handle challenges. This approach is especially helpful if you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of yourself.
Psychoeducation
I use psychoeducation to help you better understand what you’re experiencing and why. When you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, it becomes easier to make meaningful changes. I’ll break things down in a clear, practical way and give you tools you can use outside of sessions. This approach is especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, depression, and building coping skills.
