Great to meet you!

I am a Clinical Social Worker with nearly a decade of experience providing specialized care in residential and outpatient settings. My background is uniquely diverse: I have served as a trauma specialist in residential programs, a primary therapist for eating disorder recovery, and a clinical provider for those managing anxiety, depression and serious mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

I offer a highly supportive yet structured environment for adults navigating trauma, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I am also deeply passionate about supporting individuals through the aging process.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard and safe. Whether you are managing the highs and lows of bipolar disorder, navigating life with schizophrenia, or simply trying to find your footing through anxiety and depression, we will work together at your pace. My goal is to help you build a life that feels more grounded, resilient, and authentically yours.

What you can expect from me

I prioritize creating a warm, safe, and approachable environment from the moment we meet. I believe that for high-quality therapy to happen, you first have to feel truly welcomed and secure.

In our first session, our primary goal is to get to know one another and ensure we are a good fit. We’ll talk through what has been on your mind lately, your goals for therapy, and any questions you have about the process. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you as we begin building a foundation for your healing.
