Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with children, families and people impacted by childhood, relational and systemic trauma. I believe the work that I get to do as a therapist is a calling from God (a path that I initially resisted, lol). I hope to offer you a safe holding space to unpack (in no particular order) the heavy and hard things that burden you; to help you manage the tension between the good and hard life that you have been given.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a place of curiosity and making past-present connections. I use an attachment and systems lens to help people better understand themselves within the many systems they live in.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to leave sessions with more self-awareness, insight and kindness toward self.
