Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience providing mental health support. My practice is grounded in a holistic approach, considering both past and present circumstances to identify patterns and disrupt unhelpful behaviors. I am deeply committed to understanding the societal and cultural influences that impact mental health. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR, a specialized treatment for trauma and other distressing life experiences.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. With a strong background in working with teens and adults, I specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. I create a safe and affirming space where clients can explore their identities and experiences. I focus on helping clients manage and overcome trauma, anxiety, and depression, among other mental health concerns.

What you can expect from me

My therapeutic style is integrative, combining elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques. My goal is to create a supportive and understanding environment where we can work together towards your goals. Together, we work on developing coping strategies, building resilience, and fostering personal growth to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life. Let's navigate your journey together. .
