You don't have to white-knuckle through this alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified Sexual Health Expert (SHEA) accepting new clients, specializing in anxiety, OCD, addiction, mood disorders, and sexual health. With a warm, non-judgmental approach, I'll meet you where you are and walk with you toward a life that actually feels like yours.
Using a blend of therapeutic techniques, including DBT, CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices, I tailor our work together to meet your individual needs. My approach empowers you to understand and manage your emotions, build effective coping skills, and make lasting changes that lead to a more fulfilling life.
I work well with clients who are motivated to explore their identities, break free from societal expectations, and achieve meaningful growth. If you're ready to take this important step, please click on the "my website" link to schedule a session. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together!

I use an integrative approach combining DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to help clients build coping skills and resilience. DBT addresses emotional regulation, CBT reframes negative thoughts, and Solution-Focused Therapy leverages strengths and sets goals, while mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness for overall emotional well-being.
