Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Certified Oncology Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals navigating cancer, chronic illness, perinatal mental health challenges, anxiety, and depression. I understand that facing a medical diagnosis, adjusting to motherhood, or living with ongoing health concerns can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally complex.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside strengths-based and person-centered approaches. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your lived experience, and helping you build practical tools while also reconnecting with your resilience and sense of meaning. I am formally trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These modalities allow me to support clients in processing trauma, cultivating resilience, clarifying personal values, and finding steadiness in the midst of uncertainty.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward healing and growth.
