About My Clients

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, fears, and relationship challenges, including difficulties with communication and feeling understood. I also support those navigating adoption-related concerns and self-defeating patterns. Together, we identify what’s holding you back and build more effective, empowering ways to move forward.

My Background and Approach

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) and am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), providing therapy grounded in evidence-based practices and a strong understanding of how thoughts and emotions influence behavior. My work is influenced by cognitive and skills-based approaches, including techniques inspired by David D. Burns, which helps clients learn practical tools to manage mood, challenge unhelpful thinking, and improve communication. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, offering a collaborative, down-to-earth style that helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value authenticity, respect, and creating a space where people feel safe to be themselves without judgment. I believe in meeting clients where they are and honoring each person’s unique background, identity, and life experience. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to helping people feel heard and understood. I’m passionate about supporting personal growth, emotional well-being, and more compassionate ways of relating to ourselves and others, so clients can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
