Great to meet you!

Hey there!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I support clients who are ready to take actionable steps toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. My passion lies in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and women, especially during major life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, identity shifts, or redefining your sense of purpose.

My approach to therapy

I use a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that's empowering, practical, and rooted in compassion. I believe that you already hold the tools to create change-and therapy is the space where we uncover and strengthen them together.

What you can expect from me

My work is collaborative and nonjudgmental. You won't find a one-size-fits-all approach here-just thoughtful support and actionable steps to help you feel more in control, more self-aware, and more connected to the life you want to build.
