ABOUT

My Approach

I believe good therapy requires both compassion and honesty. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a relationship where clients feel genuinely understood while also feeling supported in exploring difficult questions and making meaningful changes.

Therapy is a collaborative process. I don't believe in simply telling people what they should do. Instead, I work alongside clients to better understand their experiences, identify what may be getting in the way, and consider what they want to do differently.

I value curiosity, trust, and thoughtful challenge. My goal is to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves while building the confidence to apply that understanding in their relationships and everyday lives.

My Experience

I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than fifteen years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals and families in outpatient and home-based settings and have also served as an adjunct faculty member, teaching and mentoring future social workers.

These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the complexity of people's lives and reinforced my belief in the importance of lifelong learning. They continue to inform my clinical work today.

What continues to inspire me is the opportunity to sit alongside people as they make sense of their experiences and discover new perspectives. I've found that meaningful therapy isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating the conditions where insight, courage, and change can emerge.
