Great to meet you!

Navigating the late-fall and winter months can bring unique emotional weights. Between the end of Daylight Saving Time, shifting weather patterns, and the heavy expectations of the holiday season, it is completely normal for underlying grief, seasonal depression, or profound loneliness to surface. Whether you are dealing with strained family dynamics during the holidays, processing the loss of a loved one, or simply feeling the energetic toll of shorter, colder days, you don't have to carry it alone.


I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) specializing in supporting high-achieving professionals and individuals through major life transitions, chronic stress, and emotional fatigue.

My approach to therapy

My clinical approach is grounded, active, and tailored to help you untangle complex emotional patterns, set realistic boundaries, and build sustainable resilience during high-stress seasons.

What you can expect from me

If you are looking for a collaborative, non-judgmental space to process the winter blues, manage seasonal affective struggles, or reclaim your peace of mind as the year closes, I am currently accepting new clients. Let’s work together to navigate this season and set a solid foundation for the months ahead.
