Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in grief and loss, LGBTQ+ affirming care, relational issues, depression, and anxiety. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, offering a safe, inclusive space to explore life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change.

Using evidence-based practices tailored to your needs, I’m here to support you in building resilience, deepening self-understanding, and creating a more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible. I believe therapy should be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to be yourself and explore life’s challenges openly. I adapt my approach to meet you where you are—whether you're looking for structured tools, space for reflection, or a balance of both.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions with a greater sense of clarity, emotional relief, and connection to themselves. Through our work together, you can expect to:

  • Gain deeper insight into your thoughts, emotions, and patterns
  • Develop practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, grief, or relational stress
  • Strengthen your ability to communicate and set healthy boundaries
  • Feel more grounded in your identity and values
  • Build resilience and self-compassion
  • Experience a supportive, affirming space where your experiences are honored and understood

My goal is for you to feel seen, empowered, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges—both in and outside of therapy.
