Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 14 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My background includes crisis work, children and family services, clinical practice, school social work, and teaching at the university level, which allows me to bring both compassion and practical tools into the therapy space. I specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, stress management, crisis intervention, and relationship and family dynamics. Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and straightforward.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. My approach is strengths-based and culturally responsive, drawing on evidence-informed practices such as CBT, mindfulness, and relational therapy. I tailor each session to your unique needs so that you feel both supported and gently challenged to grow.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a safe, honest environment where you feel understood and supported. Clients often leave sessions with practical coping tools, greater clarity, and a sense of direction. Over time, our work together can help you feel more confident, balanced, and resilient in facing life’s stressors and relationships.
