Great to meet you!

With 15 years of experience in the field of Social Work, I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. My clinical practice is grounded in a deep commitment to supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments.

I have extensive experience in emergency mental health and crisis intervention, helping clients navigate acute stress, trauma, and emotional upheaval with compassion and skill. I also make sure that my clients are informed of and connected to community resources to provide additional support for their individual needs.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and client-centered, pulling from a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), among others. This flexible, integrative style allows me to adapt to each person’s strengths, challenges, and goals.

What you can expect from me

I aim to foster a collaborative and empowering therapeutic environment where clients feel supported in exploring their experiences, strengthening their resilience, and building practical tools for lasting emotional well-being.
