Great to meet you!

I have experience in helping clients cope with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and family challenges, as well as self-esteem and confidence through an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely without fear of judgment. My background includes obtaining my LCSW after receiving my MSSW from the UT with Trauma certification. I have had 10+ years experience working with predominately youth, women, and adults with childhood trauma.

My approach to therapy

I believe what is most effective in therapy is finding someone who makes you feel truly seen and heard. Finding one's voice is challenging enough, and going unheard or misunderstood can be incredibly lonely and can alter our perceptions of our lives, our futures, and ourselves. I enjoy supporting others in finding their voice and rediscovering who they are through each chapter they encounter in their lives.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to be heard and valued. Your voice and feelings matter and you will know that I truly care about you as an individual and want to see you become your best self, feeling successful in the progress you make on your journey, and knowing you're equipped to handle any setbacks along the way without complete discouragement occurring.
