Great to meet you!

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. With a Master of Social Work in Clinical Practice, I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy tailored to each individual's unique needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship concerns using approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, IFS, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy, to help you build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting change in a safe and supportive environment.

What you can expect from me

In our first meeting, we’ll begin by creating a space of calm and safety where you can share what’s been happening in your life. Together, we’ll look at what’s working, what feels difficult, and what you’d like to move toward. I’ll help you gain clarity around your needs and outline a supportive plan that considers your emotional, mental, and overall well-being. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood and hopeful about the path ahead.
