About Me

Are you struggling with navigating anxiety, depression, a major life crisis that has you isolated, feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or fearful of the world around you. Did you know that beyond the fear is freedom? What does that freedom look like for you? Let's figure it out together! The process of therapy can help you develop the tools and insight needed to take control and make positive changes in your life and/or relationships. I believe that a genuine connection between a therapist and a client is a key component of the therapeutic process.

It is my hope to provide you with a space where you will feel safe and connected. No matter why you seek therapy, my role as your provider can assist you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Working together we can identify your unique strengths, explore patterns of behavior that limit your growth, and help you establish and attain goals.

My 15+ years of experience includes working with adults and families within diverse cultures. In addition to private practice, I also have experience in the hospital setting as a licensed clinical social worker.
