Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through life's challenges using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to uncover your strengths and build resilience.

My approach to therapy

I integrate talk-based therapies with mindfulness, creative expression, and somatic approaches. This combination allows us to address trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties in a comprehensive manner. My focus today is working with adults, providing a safe and inclusive space, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and understood in our sessions. I am particularly dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients.

What you can expect from me

My communication style is conversational and personal, with a goal of helping my clients to feel comfortable and understood. I value connection and warmth. During the first session, I will ask some questions for the intake process, but try to keep it informal.
