Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker based in Nevada, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families through significant life transitions, especially new and expectant mothers! My primary focus is working with clients experiencing prenatal distress, postpartum depression, and the challenges of new parenthood. I understand how overwhelming these periods can be, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your experiences and feel truly heard. My goal is to help you navigate these changes with compassion and practical guidance, whether you are seeking support for yourself or your family.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring our work together to your unique needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices to address anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues, with a special emphasis on the perinatal and postpartum experience. I value open communication and will work with you to develop strategies that fit your lifestyle, whether you prefer in-person or telehealth sessions. My aim is to empower you with tools and insights that foster resilience and well-being.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we will get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will ask about your current concerns, your history, and your hopes for our work together. This initial meeting is an opportunity for you to share as much as you feel comfortable, ask questions, and set the pace for our future sessions. My priority is to ensure you feel supported and understood as we begin this journey toward healing and growth.
