Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring both professional expertise and a deep personal understanding of the mental health journey. My passion is helping individuals navigate emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial challenges so they can become the healthiest and most authentic version of themselves.

My approach to therapy

After years of working with both adults and children across diverse settings, I believe therapy should focus on what matters most to you. My role is to provide supportive, compassionate, and collaborative space where you feel heard, empowered and equipped to meet your goals. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, complex trauma, family dynamics and peer support navigation. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from adolescents to senior adults, helping each person build resilience, healing and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

The first counseling session is getting to know you, understanding your concerns and beginning to build a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. We will explore the driving forces that bring you to therapy. It is normal to feel nervous, emotional or even unsure what to say at first, therefore it is my role to help you navigate from where you are to goal setting for therapy.
