Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I don’t just listen—I challenge you to dig deep, shift old patterns, and step into the version of yourself that’s been waiting to rise. Whether it’s breaking the cycles of trauma, navigating the rollercoaster of perinatal overwhelm, or simply reclaiming you in the midst of life’s transitions as a partner, parent, and friend- we’ll do the real work together to get the results you want to see. I believe in honest, solution-focused conversations that create momentum towards change. You’re not broken—you’re evolving and I would love to support you through that process using cognitive and behavioral techniques proven to work. Let’s build a life where you feel in control, connected, and confident, even when chaos hits.

My approach to therapy

I offer a tailored approach to therapy that incorporates psychoeducation aimed at helping you improve not only your emotional wellbeing, but your overall quality of life. Dynamic, interactive, and collaborative- I work with you to take back ownership of your life and choices, establishing boundaries, building emotional resilience, and focusing on solutions that last.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a supportive but honest space to explore and self reflect on you. Expect warmth, empathy, and real talk that will challenge you to think deeper and push past old barriers- all while being completely uplifted and cheered on. Therapy is hard but you’re not doing this alone. You’ll leave each session with increasing clarity, confidence, and passion to reach your personal goals.
