I am a compassionate listener who is focused on helping to improve our patient's quality of life.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and phobias, as well as adults with ADHD. I also support clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and navigating the impact these patterns can have on relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in exhausting cycles of fear, reassurance-seeking, self-doubt, and overstimulation. You may feel like you know better, but anxiety continues to run the show. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, safe, and able to show up exactly as you are.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve spent my career supporting children, parents, and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. My background includes working in the NICU, early childhood mental health, and supporting families navigating trauma, medical complexity, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

I am especially passionate about working with women during pregnancy and postpartum, parents, caregivers, and individuals who have spent so much time caring for others that they’ve forgotten how to care for themselves.

I bring warmth, authenticity, and a little humor into sessions when appropriate. Therapy with me is a judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are.
