Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore challenges that hinder personal growth. Through a strength-based approach, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, behavioral issues, and relationship difficulties.

My approach to therapy

With postgraduate training at the Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy, I specialize in relational psychotherapy and family-systems therapy. I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, and experienced in issues related to substance use and co-dependence. I am certified in trauma-informed practices, grief and loss support, and school-related interventions.

What you can expect from me

I work to empower clients with a deeper understanding of how internal and relational discord affects their ability to achieve personal goals and overall well-being. Together, we will harness internal strengths, enhance coping skills, define methods for self-care, and repair meaningful connections.
