I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

My approach is warm, collaborative, interactive, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique story. I draw from a mix of EMDR, mindfulness, somatic work, and insight-oriented therapy to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you — gently exploring what’s been hard, building on your strengths, and helping you move toward a greater sense of peace and wholeness. Therapy with me is a partnership rooted in trust, compassion, and the belief that healing is always possible.

Clients often walk away from sessions with a deeper sense of clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. Together, we work toward healing the parts of you that feel stuck or weighed down—so you can start feeling more grounded and connected in everyday life. You can expect practical tools to help regulate emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and support your growth outside of therapy. But more than anything, you'll experience what it's like to have someone truly listen and to sit with you in both your pain and your progress... with no judgment, just care.
