Core Values are one of the foundational components of the work I do. Exploring where core values come from, how thoughts interact with core values, and when adjustments to those core values are being considered can help us land in the current moment with a bit more clarity/compassion.

Therapist

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

Therapy can be a powerful place to recenter, build skills, and dive deeper. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting clients in a variety of settings, including schools and outpatient hospital clinics. Over the last 7 years, I have focused my work on adolescents and young adults ages 14–25 who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, school challenges, identity development, and the pressure of figuring out who they are and where they are headed. My goal is to provide a supportive and neuro-affirming space where you can better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build skills that help you feel more grounded and confident!
