Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience walking with women, teens, and young adults through trauma, anxiety, identity questions, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I specialize in trauma-informed care, using EMDR, CBT, and motivational approaches to help clients find clarity, healing, and direction. My style is honest, compassionate, and grounded. If faith is important to you, I offer the option to integrate a Christian perspective into therapy. This is a space where you can be fully seen, supported, and challenged to grow - rooted in truth, rising in grace.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is honest, compassionate, and practical. I don’t just listen - I engage, challenge when needed, and help you move toward real change. Whether we’re working through trauma, anxiety, identity, or relationship challenges, I’ll meet you where you are. Therapy with me is a steady, safe space to be real, do the work, and move forward.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more equipped, and more connected to who you are and who you’re becoming. Whether we’re working through trauma, anxiety, or a tough life transition, we focus on progress that lasts beyond the therapy session.
