Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of clinical experience. I provide affirmative support for the LGBTQ+ community and specialize in treating trauma, abuse, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I also help clients with anger management, motivation, and self-esteem building. I believe you are the expert on your own life and that you possess the inherent strengths needed to overcome your challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and I consider it a privilege to support you on your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

You are the expert on your life, and my practice is built around celebrating that. I use a strengths-based, identity-affirming lens to highlight your existing resilience and inherent worth. Together, we’ll focus on actionable solutions so you can heal and move closer to your personal goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about getting to know your story, building rapport, and ensuring you feel completely comfortable. Because starting therapy can be challenging, my priority is providing a safe, welcoming environment. Together, we’ll set collaborative goals so you are actively involved in shaping your own treatment.
