Great to meet you!

I’ve been a licensed clinical social worker since 2008, with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults, couples, families, and the queer community. I work from a place of deep respect and love for people in all their forms—my practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, rooted in feminist values, and centered on creating an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are.

My approach to therapy

I believe deep down we all have the wisdom we need—sometimes we just need a safe, compassionate space to reconnect with it. That’s where I come in. My superpower is seeing people for who they truly are beneath all the layers—your heart, your humanity, your story. I’m here to walk beside you as you explore what healing, growth, and authenticity look like for you.

What you can expect from me

I draw from a blend of therapeutic approaches—CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and more—but ultimately, my work is guided by connection, curiosity, and care. I specialize in supporting people through life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the ongoing journey of self-worth and healing. Whether you're navigating the weight of the past or trying to make sense of the present, I’m here to hold space with you as we uncover what healing looks like on your terms.
