Introduction

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, shame, and substance use concerns. I became interested in this work through a deep curiosity about human behavior and a desire to help people navigate difficult periods in their lives with greater clarity and resilience. My approach focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly, better understand their patterns, and develop practical tools for change. As an associate therapist, I practice under clinical supervision, which provides an additional layer of professional support to ensure quality care. My goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward a more balanced and meaningful life.
