LCSW, 15 years of experience
I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and practical support. I specialize in working with individuals managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions, and I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to promote growth and resilience. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel understood and empowered to make meaningful change.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll focus on getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your goals, current challenges, and any past experiences with counseling so we can begin to create a plan that feels right for you. This is also your time to ask questions, share what’s most important to you, and set the pace that feels comfortable. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of how we can work together moving forward.
What stands out about my approach is the balance of compassion and practical strategies I bring into each session. I create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood, while also offering concrete tools you can use right away in your daily life. My methods are collaborative and tailored to your unique needs—whether that means using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding skills to ease anxiety, or building healthier routines that support your goals. Clients often share that they leave sessions feeling more empowered, with greater clarity, and with strategies they can put into action to see real change.
I am best positioned to support individuals who are ready to make positive changes but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. I often work with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, racing thoughts, or challenges with self-confidence, relationships, and life transitions. Many of the people I see are motivated to grow, even if they are feeling weighed down by worry, procrastination, or self-doubt. Whether your goal is to better manage emotions, build healthier coping skills, or create balance in your daily life, I provide guidance, tools, and support to help you move forward with confidence.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns and work on replacing them with healthier, more balanced perspectives. I also provide practical tools and strategies—like managing racing thoughts, reducing worry, and setting achievable goals—that clients can use in their everyday lives. My approach is collaborative and supportive, with the goal of helping you build confidence, improve coping skills, and create lasting positive change.
