Great to meet you!

I am a LCSW. My background includes working in the prison system, medical social work, school social work and the foster care system. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ people, veterans, trauma victims, first responders, and survivors of domestic abuse.

My approach to therapy

Using a powerful combination of mindfulness, trauma-informed psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am empathetic, kind, warm, humorous, and direct in my approaches to how I conduct psychotherapy.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it's normal to have questions or mixed emotions about the process. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and respected.
