Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years in community mental health, specializing in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Illinois - Chicago and my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Since graduating in 2015, I have been lucky to work in incredible community-based organizations in Los Angeles. My work with young people aging out of foster care and folks in the LGBTQIA+ community inform my clinical lens and approach.

My approach to therapy

I believe the very real impacts of systemic oppression and trauma can cause a sense of disconnect, leading us to move and cope in ways that don't align with our goals and values. I support clients to attune to their authentic self, embrace healing and achieve empowerment.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will complete a thorough assessment together to gain an understanding of what you are bringing to therapy, your current situation as well as your hopes for the future. Together, we will work to solidify your goals and plan for treatment.
