Great to meet you!

I believe in continuing the pursuit of normalizing mental health treatment. It can be challenging going through the process of accepting and creating the momentum to take those steps, but it is a testament to your personal strength. I have been providing therapy services since 2021 as a Licensed Master Social Worker, and have been providing services as a fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025. I work with clients between the ages of 18-75 who experience a range of mental health conditions and needs.

My approach to therapy

I believe in providing tailored care through an integrated approach to meet your needs. We will work together to foster a space that you will feel safe to be transparent and vulnerable with your truth, while working towards your goals for therapy. I will be there to actively listen to you, support you, challenge you, and empower you.

What you can expect from me

I believe in a holistic approach, and respect that everyone has their own individual story and circumstance . I structure my first session to be a gentle but thorough intake to help me get to know you better with specific questions, while also creating space for you to express your story. We will work together in our following sessions to foster an open, warm, and secure environment to identify and work towards your goals.
