Navigating life’s stresses, especially when they impact your physical well-being or disrupt your daily routine, can leave you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, major life changes, or health-related stress that shows up in your body, you don't have to carry it alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals regain balance, momentum, and self-efficacy. My background extensively covers mind-body health, managing somatic/GI symptoms, coping with chronic illness, and navigating key young adult life transitions. I bring a warm, grounded, and resilient-focused energy to our work, so you feel heard and supported from day one.

I view therapy as an active, collaborative partnership. My goal isn't to "fix" you, but to help you reconnect with your internal strengths and build practical, real-world tools.

My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and specialized Mind-Body Interventions—including Clinical Hypnosis for stress, somatic symptoms, and insomnia. Together, we’ll look at the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your emotional regulation, and tailor evidence-based strategies to fit your specific goals and lifestyle.

In our first session, my main priority is building a safe, conversational, and non-judgmental space where we can establish rapid rapport. We’ll take time to discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your current challenges or physical symptoms, and map out what you hope to achieve.

You won't just be answering questions, we will start laying the foundation for your care plan right away. You can expect a supportive, transparent dialogue where we work side-by-side to ensure you leave feeling understood and clear about our next steps together.
