​
*It is important to note that although I am working toward becoming an LCSW, I am not yet a licensed therapist or healthcare provider, and my services are not a substitute for professional mental health care, medical treatment, or clinical therapy. My goal is to provide intentional support that fosters healing, growth, and self-regulation, but I do not diagnose, treat, or provide psychotherapy for mental health conditions. If at any point I believe that a client requires clinical intervention or a different level of care, I will provide a referral to a licensed therapist or medical professional. I am committed to maintaining a transparent, ethical, and safe environment for all my clients. Your well-being and safety are my top priority.
