Great to meet you!

Welcome! It's nice to meet you.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe mental health is essential to our life's enjoyment, success, and overall wellbeing. Seeking help is easier said than done, so congrats on deciding to seek support! I’ve been an LCSW since 2020, and working as an MSW in community mental health, nonprofits, and corporate social impact since 2015. I am currently focusing on helping clients address complex trauma to restore their peace, happiness, and well-being.

My approach to therapy

About my approach.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, major life transitions, depression, burnout, and spiritual emergence/emergencies by weaving talk therapy with somatic strategies to ease nervous system dysregulation and address root causes of patterns no longer serving clients. I enjoy creatively adapting my approach uniquely for each client within my scope of training which emphasizes restoring the body-brain connection. (IFS, EMDR, mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, narrative, spirituality). I am collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in holding space for clients so they feel safe, seen, and supported in our work together.

What you can expect from me

We'll start with a free consultation, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your hopes, concerns, and ask me any questions you'd like, just to be sure we're a good fit. When we're ready to move forward, we'll begin to work together to make your goals your reality.
