As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach to therapy is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and psychodynamic therapy, focusing on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and experiences. I believe that healing begins with self-awareness and that every individual has the capacity to grow and thrive. My role is to walk alongside you in this journey, offering support, guidance, and practical tools to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your personal goals. Whether you're dealing with daily stress, past trauma, or relationship difficulties, I aim to provide a therapeutic space that fosters growth, insight, and resilience. With a strong background in trauma and EMDR, I work with clients from all walks of life. I’m passionate about helping people develop greater self-compassion, emotional resilience, and clarity.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where they can begin to explore what brings them to therapy. We’ll spend time discussing your personal history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. I’ll ask about your background, including key life events, relationships, and any significant experiences that have shaped who you are today. This helps me understand your unique situation and how we can best approach your goals. During this initial session, we’ll also talk about practical matters, such as confidentiality, session structure, and how I work as a therapist. My goal is to ensure you feel safe, heard, and understood from the start, and that we create a collaborative plan tailored to your needs. This first session sets the foundation for our work together, and it’s a space for you to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. It’s also a time for us to explore if we’re a good fit and to set clear expectations for the therapeutic process.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, my strengths lie in creating a compassionate, safe space for clients, particularly adolescents, individuals dealing with trauma, and those seeking to improve their problem-solving skills. I have a deep understanding of the complexities that trauma can bring to an individual’s emotional and psychological well-being, and I’m skilled at guiding clients through the healing process with patience and empathy. In working with adolescents, I am attuned to the unique challenges they face, including identity development, peer pressure, and family dynamics. I am skilled at building rapport with young people, helping them express their emotions in healthy ways, and providing them with practical tools to manage stress, relationships, and self-esteem. In problem-solving, I excel at helping clients identify patterns in their thinking and behavior that may be contributing to their challenges. I work collaboratively to break down complex issues, offer new perspectives, and empower clients with actionable strategies to overcome obstacles in their personal, interpersonal, and family lives. My holistic approach blends deep empathy with a focus on practical outcomes, allowing clients to feel supported while making meaningful progress in their healing and growth.
