Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
My ideal client is a young person who is ready to explore their identity in a meaningful and compassionate way. They might be navigating questions about gender and sexuality, or feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, or trauma that has been difficult to process on their own. They may be struggling with self-acceptance, societal pressures, or a fear of rejection. Whether they are looking to understand their gender identity more clearly, manage mental health struggles, or heal from past experiences, they are committed to the journey of therapy and personal growth.
My approach centers on building trust. By leading with empathy, I ensure that you can express yourself freely without fear of judgment. Whether you're seeking clarity about your identity, need guidance on managing difficult emotions, or simply want a space where you can be your authentic self, I’m here to help you find your path to healing and growth.
I understand reaching out for support can be a big step. If you’re feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, know you’re not alone. I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your feelings and goals. Whenever you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you on your journey of self-discovery and growth.
