Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work and over 10 years of experience working with children, families, and couples. I specialize in postpartum support, women’s issues, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. My goal is to help clients strengthen their connections—whether between partners, parents and children, or within themselves. I offer a warm, supportive, and collaborative space tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work toward building healthier relationships and greater emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems, and attachment-based work. I focus on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and helping clients develop practical tools for everyday life. Whether I’m working with individuals, couples, or families, my goal is to help clients feel heard, empowered, and supported as they move toward healing and connection.

What you can expect from me

I’d love to learn more about you and what you’re looking for. Finding the right therapist is an important step, and I value being a good fit for each person I work with. I believe in practicing what I recommend and am always happy to connect you with additional resources that support your growth.
