Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
A calm and supportive space. I help teens and young adults going through a hard time feel understood and more hopeful.
Hello! I help people brand new to therapy, and people looking for a therapist that they can connect with. As we talk, I want to make sure you feel understood, respected, and cared for. Meeting a new therapist can be stressful! So I will check in with you frequently to gauge how you are feeling, and make sure I’m really “getting it”. I have years of experience as a teacher, coach, and social worker, working with teens and parents every step of the way. I learned everyone has a unique learning style and energy level. Some like calm conversation. Some need a game or to use their hands while we talk. The goal is for you to feel comfortable and relaxed. But when things get serious, know that I am calm and supportive. We work as team to decide what you want to work on. Thanks to training from awesome therapists, I have experience with a variety of powerful tools. So whether you want help with anxiety, depression, a habit, or a relationship issue, we have a tool that fits you and your unique style! I wish you the best of luck on your journey to find a therapist! If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message or schedule a free phone call. Have a good day!
