Are you often told that you "need to relax," or that "you should slow down"? Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of stress, worry, or depression? Are you ready to make your mental health a priority but don't know where or how to start? If being able to just relax seems unachievable, I want you to know that change is possible. As an LICSW with over a decade of experience and a trauma survivor, I have assisted countless individuals to develop adaptive coping skills, establish healthier boundaries, and gain new insights about themselves and their circumstances. My approach to therapy is integrative and collaborative.

By building a relationship on trust and a shared curiosity, I work to help my clients examine and change unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, transform behaviors and build resiliency. I utilize a variety of modalities tailored to meet my patient's specific needs, including Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness based stressed reduction.

Talking with a therapist can be helpful but it is not always the most comfortable. I can help you through that discomfort with a little time & effort. My scheduling platform allows you to book a free initial 15 min consultation. With me, you get a judgement free and productive environment to work towards your mental health goals.
