Rooted in the core values of social work—empowerment, autonomy, and a strengths-based perspective—I meet each client where they are, helping them navigate life’s challenges in a way that aligns with their unique goals and values. I take a holistic approach to therapy, considering the whole person and their environment to promote lasting growth and well-being.
