Licensed Social Worker (LSW)
Let’s Navigate Your Journey Together I’m here for you, ready to listen and help.
Life can be overwhelming, and I understand how challenging it can be to face stress, anxiety, and depression sometimes all at once. Whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult, I’m passionate about supporting you in exploring these challenges and finding effective solutions. I offer flexible session times, including evenings and weekends, to fit your busy life. I believe in an integrative approach to therapy, combining various methods to best meet your needs. From mindfulness and motivational interviewing to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and strength-based strategies, I tailor our sessions to empower you. My goal is to build a trusting, collaborative relationship where you feel supported and understood. My approach is warm and empathetic, creating a safe space where you can express yourself openly. Together, we’ll work on developing coping skills and setting achievable goals that can guide you through life’s changes. Let’s take this journey together because you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'm here to help you find clarity and resilience.
