Great to meet you!

Collaboration, empowerment, and community are at the core of my practice as a clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in therapeutic and education settings. I consider all of YOU in our work— your identities, pains, joys, strengths. I now focus my work with adults ages 18-30.

My approach to therapy

Using an anti-oppressive framework, I work with you to assess your unique needs and utilize evidence-based interventions to help you achieve your goals. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, academic/vocational stress, ADHD, social isolation, self-esteem, adjustment/transitions, identity, and effects of prejudice/discrimination.

What you can expect from me

I aim to co-create a space with you that allows you to explore and be vulnerable without judgment and assumptions. We will start with an introductory session (or two) that provides an opportunity for me to learn about you, your concerns, your needs for a welcoming environment, and your hopes for therapy. Next, we will create a plan that guides our work together and supports progression toward your goals for therapy.
