Great to meet you!

I'm a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with over 10 years specializing in anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, and grief. My client-centered approach empowers individuals to overcome barriers and cultivate healthy solutions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My clinical experience comes from working in hospital, hospice, & school settings. I work with all ages from youth to geriatrics, providing individual therapy tailored to each client’s needs. My methods primarily include CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), MI (motivational interviewing), strength-based, & solution-focused approaches.

What you can expect from our first session

People are capable of healing themselves and I am here to help them navigate through life’s stressors, losses, and relationships to improve their overall mental health. My goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic space where clients are heard, understood, and treated with dignity.


Let’s work together in reaching your mental health goals.
