Great to meet you!

Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12+ years of experience in providing therapy to individuals and families. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults work through depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, life transitions, personal development, and relationship challenges. Utilizing EMDR, mindfulness practices, CBT, and DBT-informed therapy, I guide clients toward deeper self-understanding and emotional resilience.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that the source of healing is within you—and that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow.

My therapy style integrates evidenced-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family System (IFS), Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Trauma informed care. I’m passionate about this work because I’ve seen how transformative it can be when someone feels truly seen and adequately supported.

In our first few sessions, you can expect to gain insight into your strengths and struggles and begin to chart a path forward.
