Great to meet you!

I am an LCSW with experience working with couples, individuals, & families. As a school social worker, I frequently work with children struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, family issues, self-harm, & behavioral diagnoses. I have extensive experience treating individuals with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, as well as issues with substance & alcohol use. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, & supportive environment where we can explore your past traumas and future goals together.

My approach to therapy

My methods strongly emphasize cultural sensitivity and inclusion as I work closely with diverse populations, including individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and cultural minority groups. I encourage my clients to develop coping skills to improve their overall quality of life and to establish communication strategies to strengthen interpersonal relationships.

What you can expect from me

I utilize a holistic approach that recognizes the importance of the mind and body connection. Through compassion and honesty, we can work together to create meaningful change towards achieving your goals. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and together we can determine if my practice is the best fit to support you in your journey.
