About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is dedicated to helping adults cope with life transitions, substance use, depression/anxiety, and women's issues.
As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a compassionate and supportive space for individuals navigating life's challenges. I am deeply committed to ensuring that my clients have a safe and nonjudgmental environment where they can express themselves freely, regardless of their struggles. Meeting new people and offering a haven where they feel understood and accepted is a fundamental part of my practice.
My approach is rooted in authenticity, calm conversations, and genuine collaboration. I believe in working alongside my clients, meeting them where they are, and walking with them on their journey. I do not position myself as an authority figure who dictates solutions but as a supportive ally who empowers clients to find their own paths. Being part of my clients' team, providing guidance, and witnessing their growth is a privilege I hold dearly.
I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of issues including substance use disorders, life transitions, women's issues, relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, codependency, mood disorders, kink and BDSM, open relationships, and LGBTQ+ populations. My practice is inclusive and affirming, always respecting the unique experiences and perspectives each client brings.
Ultimately, my practice is about creating a partnership built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. I am here to support my clients in their personal growth and to celebrate their successes as they navigate their unique journeys.
