Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialized focus on supporting individuals and families affected by multiple sclerosis and other chronic medical conditions, I have cultivated a deep commitment to providing compassionate and effective therapeutic interventions.

I have worked in a variety of settings - including outpatient clinics, hospitals, domestic and international schools, and community programs - offering support at all levels of care. My clinical background includes working with a wide range of diagnoses and diverse populations.

While I continue to derive satisfaction from working with individuals facing various concerns that seek therapeutic support, as a therapist who personally lives with MS, I am acutely aware of the profound physical, emotional, and social impact that chronic conditions can have on an individual’s life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and strength-based, incorporating elements of humor to foster a positive and supportive environment. My tools are tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Expressive Arts.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe that we all share common needs and aspirations; yet, I acknowledge that our individual life experiences give rise to distinct challenges. Furthermore, I hold the conviction that we all possess unique traits, abilities, and talents that serve as our means to heal, change, and grow.

I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, identify your needs, and engage in some collaborative problem-solving.
