Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of combined experience in Mental Health and Public Health. My professional experience focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual health, sex education, and self-worth.

My approach to therapy

I strongly believe that our overall wellbeing is a crucial role in our sense of self, how we connect with others, and how we experience our surrounding world. I can help you slow down and process your individual, cultural, or systemic needs, so you can flourish in areas that are functionally important to you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, it’s important to me that you feel understood and that we can identify your needs. I want to make sure that my approach is aligned with your specific concerns. This is the foundation of how I will set forth your treatment planning and support you.
