Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Healing Out Loud PLLC. I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where individuals ages 12 and older feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate life's challenges. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, anger, life transitions, family and relationship concerns, postpartum and maternal mental health challenges, and the effects of interpersonal or community violence.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-informed. I recognize that every person's story is unique, so I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs, drawing from trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based practices. in our sessions we we'll work together to understand your experiences, identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and foster lasting growth. My goal is to help you feel supported, gain insight, and develop the confidence to navigate life's challenges with resilience.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and discuss your strengths, challenges, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin, just come as you are. Together, we'll create a plan that feels meaningful, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs.
