About me
I am a clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting young adults, adults, and seniors through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. My clinical background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I also specialize in areas such as loss and bereavement, life transitions, and relationship issues.
I am dedicated to providing a supportive, flexible, and client-centered therapeutic experience. My goal is to ensure that every individual I work with feels heard, understood, and empowered as we address their unique needs together. I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where meaningful change and personal growth can occur.
My goal as a clinician is to create an environment where my clients and I can work collaboratively to build a life that feels worthwhile, meaningful, and aligned with their personal values. I believe in open, honest communication and strive to ensure that clients feel comfortable and supported throughout our work together.
I recognize that coming to therapy can be challenging, so I maintain a down-to-earth, authentic approach. I often remind clients that I am a person before I am a therapist, and I always show up in a way that reflects that humanity.
I practice within a group setting alongside other dedicated clinicians who share similar values and a commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. Working with me means partnering with a therapist who is individualized, flexible, and fully committed to your growth. Together, we will explore, heal, and work toward the life you envision for yourself.
