LCSW, LICSW

I see each person I work with as an individual whose story I have the honor of hearing. I approach therapy with compassion and respect, always remembering that I could just as easily be in my client’s place. My goal is to create a space where people feel seen, understood, and never judged. When the time is right, I also bring a sense of humor into the work—because sometimes a moment of lightness can help us breathe, connect, and see things from a new perspective.

It’s important to know that I’m compassionate and always try to understand your point of view. At the same time, I believe in being honest and direct when it’s helpful. Once we’ve built a strong therapeutic relationship, I’ll share observations or feedback that I think you need to hear—even if it’s difficult—because my goal is to help you grow, heal, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

My own experiences with depression and anxiety have given me a deeper understanding of what it feels like to struggle and the courage it takes to seek help. I’ve learned coping skills that have helped me find balance, and I draw on that empathy in my work with clients. I don’t preach or assume your journey will look like mine—but I do understand how painful those lows can be, and I know that healing and stability are possible.
