Great to meet you!

I am proud of you for exploring and taking the first steps in your healing journey! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping individuals and families curate the best versions of themselves. I have been working in the mental health field for 13+ years. I have experience working with adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples in a wide range of settings.

My approach to therapy

I show up authentically and invite you to do the same. I center your lived experience, affirm your identity, and support you in naming and unlearning the messages that no longer serve you. My goal is not only to support your personal healing but to affirm your right to exist, rest, and thrive in a world that often demands otherwise.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported — without judgment and at your own pace. I offer you space that's safe to be who you are in your truest form, while navigating your healing journey.

You can expect a space that feels safe, affirming, and empowering — where healing is not just possible, but radical and restorative.
