Great to meet you!

I have many years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a PhD degree in Developmental psychology and am a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach. I use therapies that suit your unique situation to help improve your mental health. I am focusing on treating anxiety, especially in women.

I support those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management , post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My practice also supports clients living with attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), anger management and impulse control difficulties, and complex family or relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

I create a non-judgmental, relaxed, and safe space where you may share your experiences and feelings. I offer wisdom and empathy to support you in your journey. I will challenge you to believe that coping with your current struggles is possible.

I provide affirming care around women’s issues. Whether you are navigating major life transitions, managing chronic stress, or working through long-standing patterns, therapy can be a space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater stability and self-understanding.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, I will invite you to share your story and what brought you to seek therapy. I will work with you to begin to develop the goals and expectations you have for yourself. I hope you will begin to be empowered, motivated, purposeful, affirmed, and healed.
