About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 3 years of professional experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, speaking openly, and knowing you won’t be judged. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I value building genuine connections with my clients and creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
At the same time, I believe therapy is about more than just having someone to talk to. I want to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients manage difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, and create meaningful changes.
I believe in meeting you where you are while also encouraging growth, offering new perspectives, and gently challenging you when needed. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We’ll work together to understand what’s going on and find a path forward that works for you
