Great to meet you!

Having spent the past four years as School Social Worker, I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults, addressing issues such as anxiety, school-related stress, peer relationships, and identity exploration. To my fellow educators out there, I recognize the unique stressors that come with working in schools. Let's navigate the complexities of life together, working towards fostering your well-being and resilience.

My approach to therapy

In a world filled with music, television, and literature, I understand the importance of using these things to connect with Millennials and Gen Zs. Whether it's discussing the latest Netflix series, exploring music playlists, or using the worlds of video games to provide insight, I use your passions to help drive your therapy journey.

What you can expect from me

Imagine a therapeutic space where humor is not just welcomed but celebrated, authenticity is valued, and connection forms the cornerstone of our relationship. Utilizing techniques from CBT, ACT and Person-Centered Therapy, I believe you to be the driving force of change and I hope I can be a stepping stone along the way. I look forward to meeting you soon!
