LCSW, 3 years of experience
Hello! I’m a licensed clinical social worker and a doctoral candidate in behavioral health. I work primarily with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. I created my private practice to offer compassionate, meaningful support during pivotal moments in people’s lives. My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and tailored to your personal goals, helping you feel grounded, understood, and empowered as you grow.
In our first session, we’ll take time to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from this experience. We’ll explore your goals together and discuss how my approach can best support you. I’ll clearly outline what you can expect moving forward, and we’ll collaboratively identify the topics and areas you’d like to focus on throughout our work.
My greatest strengths as a therapist come from being open-minded, empathetic, and deeply attuned to each person’s unique experience. I know many people hesitate to seek help out of fear of being judged, so I strive to create a space that truly feels safe, welcoming, and free of expectations. With experience supporting individuals from many different backgrounds, I’m committed to meeting each client with respect, understanding, and genuine care.
I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating major life transitions- whether that’s entering college, graduating, starting a career, or redefining their path later in life. These moments can bring excitement as well as uncertainty, and many people feel lost or unsupported during these shifts. I’m here to help clients of all ages find clarity, confidence, and direction as they move through these important chapters.
We will work as a team and utilize CBT, where we identify previously held beliefs and challenge them.
