About me
I’m a compassionate therapist who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, and life’s challenges in a safe and supportive space.
When life feels overwhelming, you don't have to navigate it alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, and relationship and family concerns. I believe therapy begins with feeling genuinely heard. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand what you’re experiencing, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
Your experiences, values, and goals guide our work. I’ll listen carefully to understand your concerns and collaborate with you on a treatment plan tailored to your needs, using approaches such as CBT, DBT, somatic practices, and strengths-based therapy.
Therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and purposeful. Sessions are structured yet flexible, with room for reflection, skill-building, and honest conversation. I welcome your feedback and regularly check in to ensure our work remains helpful and aligned with your goals.
