Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive space where you can explore your feelings and experiences. I specialize in providing comprehensive support, with experience working with children, youth athletes, college students, and adults helping them navigate issues including anxiety, depressive disorders, ADHD, PTSD/traumatic experiences, adjustment concerns, learning difficulties, behavioral struggles, academic pressures, performance stress, and more.

My approach to therapy

I integrate cultural awareness into my practice and utilize a strength-based perspective to empower you to recognize your inherent strengths and resilience. In addition, I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to create a holistic and supportive therapeutic environment.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, we will collaborate to explore your values and cultivate a deeper understanding of what contributes to your overall well-being and growth. With a focus on promoting mental well-being and empowering you to navigate life's challenges, I will encourage you to explore your unique path and find meaning in your experiences. I believe that every person brings a unique background, perspective, and set of experiences, and I honor these differences in our work together.
