Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who's spent years walking alongside people through some of life's most tender chapters — aging, illness, caregiving, grief, and the big transitions that can leave you feeling unmoored. I've worked in hospitals, hospice, palliative and dementia care, and community settings, which has shown me just how unique every person's story really is. Whether you're caring for a loved one, facing a health diagnosis, grieving a loss, or simply feeling stuck in a season of change, I'm here to help you find steadier ground.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches — but I always shape these around you, not the other way around. If you're navigating grief, I'll help you make space for it without rushing you through it. If you're caregiving or managing a chronic illness, we'll work on building resilience and reclaiming a sense of self amid the demands on your time and energy. And if you're simply feeling overwhelmed by change, we'll focus on practical tools alongside deeper self-compassion, with attention to how movement, creativity, and whole-person well-being support your mental health too.

I believe healing starts with feeling truly seen. You won't find judgment here — just a calm, warm space to be honest about what you're carrying.

What you can expect from me

When we meet for our first session, there's no rush. I'll take the time to really get to know your story and what's brought you here, so we can move forward together with clarity and intention.

If any of this resonates, I'd love to work with you.
