Great to meet you!

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in counseling diverse groups and supporting individuals with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, self-esteem, family issues, and life transitions. This is a safe and inviting space for you to process and navigate trauma, explore fears, and begin the healing process with professional support and guidance. I am committed to walking with you on this transformative journey.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals across the lifespan including adolescents, adults, and families, through reflective collaboration and evidence-based therapy. Many of my clients feel that they are stuck, powerless against their circumstances, hiding their feelings while suffering in silence. My mission is to guide you on a new path to mental and emotional wellness in which you can experience life like never before in the present and reclaim your future.

What you can expect from me

Together, we will design and develop an individualized plan to meet your personal and family goals to achieve desired outcomes. Growth can be painful, but it is necessary to achieve the goals we dream of reaching. I will support you in this process as you deserve to be heard, seen, understood, and appreciated.
