My Approach to Therapy

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming - congratulations on taking this important first step. I offer a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can deepen your understanding of yourself and your patterns. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you uncover what may be getting in the way of your growth, goals, or sense of fulfillment. I’ve spent years helping people navigate all kinds of challenges—anxiety, depression, trauma, big life changes, ADHD, and behavior struggles. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and work toward meaningful change!

Supervision Details

As a practicing social worker, I understand the importance and ethics of having a qualified supervisor. It is important to the profession that mental health professionals are equipped with the necessary skills to deliver competent and ethical social work services. Equally important to the profession is the responsibility to protect clients. My goal as a supervisor is to provide support, trust, constructive feedback, and safety to practicing clinicians.

My Practice & Services

Choosing the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and it’s important that you feel comfortable and connected with whoever you choose. I offer a free consultation call so we can see if we are a good fit for each other. I provide individual therapy, parent coaching, diagnostic assessments, and clinical supervision—all offered virtually for your convenience. All services are provided on a HIPAA compliant virtual platform. Please reach out to inquire about waitlists and availability!

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Therapy styles should be tailored to your needs. Depending on these needs, therapy can be short-term or long-term. In my practice, I incorporate evidence-based treatments virtually to help you achieve your goals and work toward your full potential. Using these practices will help you feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. By creating a better mind and body connection, we can better regulate our emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and utilize skillful behaviors.
