Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep belief in the power of attunement and shared joy. My recent work with clients focuses on learning how to care for ourselves while also caring for those we love. This balance can be really tricky.

Currently, I work with many women who are navigating major life transitions, stressful relationships, compassion fatigue, and anxiety/perfectionism. In session together we hold space for our vast experiences and work powerfully toward the ease-filled lives we envision.

My approach to therapy

I believe in the power of intuition and will work with you to foster a thriving sense of self-trust and inner knowing. I show up with a calm outside perspective—listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and gently cheering you on as you work through what feels stuck.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. You don’t need to have everything figured out or explained perfectly. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’re hoping might feel different, and what support could look like right now.
