My Therapeutic Philosophy

Safe & Supportive Space

I provide a safe, supportive space for you to be heard without judgment, where we can work together to build coping skills and foster emotional healing.

Evidence-Based & Personalized Care

Using evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I tailor therapy to your unique needs to support lasting, positive change.

Empowerment & Resilience

My goal is to empower you to face challenges, create meaningful change that aligns with your values, and build the resilience needed for a more balanced life.

Experience & Expertise

My work is rooted in compassion, understanding, and practical support. I help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or substance use find steadiness, clarity, and lasting peace. In our work together, you’ll find a space where you can speak openly, feel heard without judgment, and begin moving toward balance and healing.

With more than twelve years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I now practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), offering a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. My approach blends evidence-based care with genuine connection, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practices to guide you toward meaningful, lasting change.

In each session, we’ll set clear goals, build coping skills that fit your real-life experiences, and work together in a practical, collaborative way. I understand that reaching out for help can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a path forward — one that helps you move from hard to safe times.
