Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work, specializing in working with adults. I have a particular interest in trauma and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which I use to help clients process difficult experiences and develop healthier coping strategies.

My approach to therapy

I take a compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are and tailoring treatment to their individual needs and goals. As an EMDR clinician, I incorporate EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and develop healthier patterns. I believe therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Together, we identify personal goals and work toward improving emotional regulation, building healthy coping skills, strengthening relationships and boundaries, and developing a greater sense of confidence and self-understanding. For clients working through trauma, I help them process past experiences in a way that reduces their emotional impact and supports healing. I want clients to leave therapy feeling more empowered, equipped with practical tools, and better able to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.
