Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and choosing the right therapist is an important step. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard – Where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. My goal is to walk alongside you, as you navigate life’s challenges and work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. I work with adults and teens from diverse backgrounds, including: Trauma survivors Members of the LGBTQ+ community Individuals struggling or recovering from substance use First Responders Domestic violence Sexual assault survivors Those dealing with the foster care/adoption system Older adults and caregivers I understand how trauma, stress, and life transitions can impact every part of your well-being, and I approach therapy with compassion, patience, and a deep respect for your lived experiences. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and encouraging. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care, while always using a strengths-based, person-centered approach. This means we will focus not only on the challenges you’re facing, but also acknowledging your resilience, values, and inner strengths as we work toward goals that feel meaningful to you. I am a Licensed Social Worker and hold the certification of Certified Dementia Practitioner, with experience supporting individuals, families, and caregivers through complex emotional and life circumstances. Whether you’re coping with trauma, anxiety, substance use, caregiving stress, identity concerns, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, balance, and a sense of hope.
