I believe everyone has the potential for growth and change, and I am committed to creating a comfortable, supportive space where you can express yourself openly, learn new skills, challenge unhelpful patterns, and work toward achievable goals. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults in various care settings. I use a strengths-based, personalized approach to therapy, integrating different therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your unique needs.
I have experience helping clients with issues related to anxiety, depression, anger, stress, trauma, and OCD. My goal is to help you navigate life’s transitions, build resilience, and develop the tools needed to create lasting, meaningful change.
If you're looking for a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to help you grow and get to where you want to be in life, I would love to be a part of your journey!
