Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m honored you’re considering me as part of your journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself-without fear of judgement. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care. I specialize in working with adults living with chronic illnesses, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, and addiction. I understand that managing a chronic health condition can affect every aspect of life—from relationships and work to identity and emotional well-being—and you don't have to face those challenges alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" you—it's about helping you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to move through life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
In our sessions, you can expect compassion, honesty, and encouragement. I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, challenged when appropriate, and supported every step of the way. Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis, coping with the daily realities of chronic illness, working toward recovery from addiction, or struggling with anxiety or depression, I'll meet you where you are. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
I help clients cope with the emotional impact of chronic illness, including anxiety, depression, grief, identity changes, caregiver stress, chronic pain, and the challenges of balancing treatment with everyday life.
My ideal client is an adult who is ready to invest in their emotional well-being, even if they're unsure where to begin. They may be living with a chronic illness, navigating anxiety or depression, or working toward recovery from addiction. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, are adjusting to significant life changes, or have spent so much time caring for others that they've lost sight of their own needs. They are looking for a therapist who will meet them with compassion, authenticity, and respect while also providing practical tools for change. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, strengthen healthy coping strategies, and work toward goals that align with their values and the life they want to build. Whether you're seeking support after a new diagnosis, coping with the emotional impact of a chronic health condition, managing anxiety or depression, or creating a foundation for lasting recovery, therapy can be a place to heal, grow, and rediscover your strengths. My goal is to help you feel empowered, resilient, and confident as you move forward.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps identify the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore unhelpful thinking patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, or difficulties adjusting to chronic illness. By recognizing these patterns, you can begin to replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences instead of struggling to avoid or control them. Rather than eliminating emotional pain, ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility—the ability to navigate challenges while continuing to live a meaningful, values-driven life.
