Do you long to feel heard, seen and understood? Starting therapy can feel daunting, and my goal is to meet you exactly where you are, tailoring our sessions to fit your unique needs. As a therapist with training in a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, I utilize a psychodynamic approach to delve deep into the underlying patterns and emotions that shape your experiences. Think of me as a passenger on your bus, helping you navigate the twists and turns of your path. Together, we will explore and work towards a more fulfilling and self-aware future. Your journey is yours to lead, and I'm here to support you with every step
I will offer you a place where you can unravel your emotions, find clarity amidst the chaos, and discover the strength within you. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I will start where you are and help you move forward.
Together, we will work to understand what's happening in your life, how your past affects your present and find ways to cope and thrive. I will meet you where you are and help you move forward at your own pace. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, life satisfaction, unresolved traumas, relationship issues, or anything else- I'm here to help.
