Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, or the weight of past experiences? Perhaps you're struggling to communicate with your partner, feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or finding it difficult to manage the demands of work, family, and daily life. Therapy can provide a safe space to better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, work stress, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strength-based interventions.

What you can expect from me

I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, people of color, professionals experiencing burnout, and those seeking healthier relationships and stronger emotional well-being. Whether you are looking to heal from past experiences, improve communication, rebuild trust, or gain practical tools for managing life's challenges, I am committed to helping you move toward your goals.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, but you do not have to do it alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
