Hello, and thank you for considering me as part of your therapeutic journey!

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when navigating stress, uncertainty, or difficult emotions. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can show up as you are without judgment or pressure. I bring a down-to-earth, laid-back approach while maintaining a compassionate space for growth. Seeking support can be hard and sometimes isolating, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

I primarily work with individuals ages 14 and older experiencing a variety of mental health concerns. I use a person-centered, solution-focused approach, incorporating evidence-based techniques from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to meet each individual’s unique needs.

As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with over 8 years of experience providing therapeutic services, I bring a broad background in mental health care that extends beyond traditional outpatient therapy. My experience includes inpatient psychiatric care, community mental health, leadership and direct clinical practice, and crisis intervention. These experiences have provided me with a strong understanding of mental health needs across different levels of care and the ability to draw from a wide range of clinical experiences when supporting clients. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology with an emphasis in neuroscience and a master’s degree in Social Work.

Whether you’re working through a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next, I’m here to draw upon my clinical experience and help you navigate the process one step at a time.
