Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in helping youth, teens & adults work through the impact of childhood trauma in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. I bring 4 years of experience working with individuals and families across clinical and school settings. Whether you or your child is navigating anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges or the aftermath of trauma, I believe in creating authentic, trusting relationships that allows healing to happen.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in person-centered care. As an LCSW specializing in trauma, I utilize a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions tailored to the unique needs of each client.

What you can expect from me

Following sessions, you can expect to take away both emotional insights and practical tools, including increased self-awareness, emotional regulation tools, a sense of safety and control, and connection & validation.
