Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. I’m a big believer in the power of being seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and realism. I’m here to meet you where you are, help you figure out where you want to go, and walk alongside you as you take those steps forward.

I specialize in working with children, families, and parents—especially those facing emotional or behavioral challenges, anxiety, parenting stress, or work-life burnout. As a working mom of four, I understand firsthand how overwhelming life can feel, and I bring that real-world perspective into the therapy space.

My approach to therapy

In sessions, I blend evidence-based practices like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness, and play- based or expressive techniques with a person-centered, Adlerian lens. I help clients uncover patterns in their thinking and behavior, build emotional resilience, and develop practical coping strategies. I also have a special interest in CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) and enjoy helping clients improve their sleep and overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're a parent trying to support a struggling child, an individual feeling stuck or misunderstood, or someone simply craving a better night's sleep—I offer a warm, welcoming space to help you feel more grounded, supported, and empowered.
