I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.
My approach is client-centered, humanistic, and focused on the whole person. I work with adults, children, teens, seniors, and families navigating anxiety, depression, family conflict, mood regulation, attention and focus challenges, and anger. I use CBT, DBT skills, and trauma-focused CBT to support growth and healing.
In our first session, I offer a supportive space to talk about what’s bringing you in and what you hope to change. I want to understand your experiences, strengths, and goals so we can decide together what feels most helpful. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and clearer about your next steps.
