Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Doctor of Social Work student who specializes in trauma and developmental psychology. The environment we grow up in can have an enormous impact on the way we view and navigate the world. As a result, we tend to become stuck in this cycle of shame and blame. I am no stranger to generational trauma and my goal is to help you break cycles of self-doubt and negative coping by embracing your most authentic self.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use an eclectic approach of play, somatic, and talk therapies to challenge negative self-talk, improve your self-esteem and embrace the life you want to live unapologetically.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can begin to feel a sense of relief through empowerment and self confidence. I hope to help you realize the power, control, and agency you have and had all along to live your best life.
