**Scheduling Availability: Please note that I currently do not have availability for appointments after 3:00 PM, as all later appointment times have been filled. If you require an ongoing appointment time after 3:00 PM, please do not schedule an intake at this time, as I will not be able to accommodate ongoing care during those hours. Thank you for your understanding.** As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified, I take a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strengths-based, and solution-focused techniques to help clients navigate life's challenges, build healthy coping skills, and create lasting change. I work collaboratively with clients to help them make sense of what they are experiencing, build healthier coping skills, and move toward greater emotional balance, resilience, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.
First session
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable from the beginning. In our first session, we will focus on building trust, exploring what brings you to therapy, and discussing your goals, current concerns, and personal history. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, hopeful, and supported.
Strengths
I believe meaningful therapy begins with a genuine, trusting relationship. I create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self. I combine empathy with encouragement, helping you recognize your strengths while providing practical strategies to navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll build resilience, confidence, and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, career transitions, work-life balance, family conflict, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and unresolved trauma. I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next step, I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self. Together, we'll identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, build resilience, and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge negative beliefs, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's challenges. My goal is to provide practical tools that help you manage stress, improve emotional well-being, strengthen confidence, and create lasting, meaningful change both inside and outside of therapy.
