Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s a meaningful act of self-care, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I’ve worked in a variety of settings which allows me to bring a well-rounded and compassionate perspective to our work together. My style is straightforward, supportive, and grounded in real-life strategies. I draw from multiple approaches to help you gain insight, build resilience, and make the changes you want to see in your life.
