One of the greatest compliments I receive is that people feel genuinely heard and understood in our work together. Clients often describe me as empathetic, calm, and easy to talk to, and they appreciate having a therapist who listens without judgment while also providing practical tools they can use outside of session.

Parents frequently share that their children and teens feel comfortable with me quickly and often look forward to coming to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, so I take the time to build trust, meet each child where they are, and create a space where they feel safe, respected, and understood.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Leo University and my Master of Social Work from Union University in May 2021. Since becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in October 2021 and now practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, providing evidence-based care to children, adolescents, adults, and families.

Whether I'm working with a child, teen, or adult, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that is tailored to each person's unique strengths, needs, and goals. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people during difficult seasons of life and will always do my best to help you feel supported, empowered, and hopeful throughout the healing process.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, discuss relevant history, and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process.There is no pressure to share everything at once. Therapy is a process, and we will move at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.
