I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I have a passion for working with people in all stages of life. I always knew I wanted to help people from a very early age. What that looked like changed a dozen times before I decided on a career. I do this work because it's vital to hold space for people who don't have another human they can trust to share their innermost thoughts and feelings without being judged.

I'm driven by the knowledge, that mental illness doesn't decipher between black and white, rich or poor, sick or healthy, it just happens, and when it does people need a safe space to heal.

My hope, my goal is to be that space for others. It's a beautiful gift to be a part of another human's healing process! My approach to therapy is client-centered, open-minded, and non-judgmental with compassion and empathy. I believe everyone deserves a life worth living!

I'm comfortable working with clients across the lifespan children, teens, young adults, adults, and seniors. I've been described as warm, caring, friendly, non-assuming, accepting, and patient.

Clients should know that I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they can feel safe to be themselves. I specialize in working with women, adolescents, and children, as well as individuals impacted by the child welfare system, including foster care, adoption, and family separation. I understand how trauma, attachment disruptions, and life transitions can shape emotions, relationships, and self-worth.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I aim to help clients feel heard and understood while also offering tools and strategies they can use in their daily lives. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and developmental stage, meeting them where they are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable.

I value building strong, trusting relationships and believe that healing happens through connection, insight, and consistent support. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, gain clarity, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

My hope is to be able to help others navigate life's obstacles with an authentic and nonjudgmental approach.

I specialized in Trauma while earning my degree and have helped many individuals, couples, and families work through and overcome the aftermath of traumatic events. I also have several years of experience helping people struggling with anxiety and depression.

One of the most important aspects of the therapeutic healing process is the connection between the client and therapist, so I encourage authentic communication if you do not feel we are a good fit as it can be an example of advocating for yourself in a powerful way.
