What really keeps people from starting therapy? Maybe it’s the discomfort of having to look at yourself, face hard truths, and do the work change requires. Or maybe it starts long before that, when you’re scrolling through an endless list of therapist profiles, trying to choose the “one,” the one you’ll actually vibe with. That’s where I come in. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate the messy, complicated parts of being human.
My style is straightforward, warm, and practical. I balance empathy with honesty and believe that humor and real conversation are just as important as theory and technique. I provide a space where you can be honest, challenged, and supported in making meaningful change.
Growth isn’t always comfortable, but with the right therapist, it becomes manageable, and worth the journey.
