As an independent licensed clinical social worker, with 12 plus years of experience and a current Ph.D. student, I approach therapy as a collaborative process centered on compassion, authenticity, and growth. My style is down-to-earth and supportive, while also gently challenging when needed to help you uncover patterns and build lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches—including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices—while always tailoring the work to your unique needs and strengths.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and recovery. My background includes years of experience supporting clients in both outpatient and community mental health settings, which taught me that true healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and empowered to take small, steady steps forward.

Clients often describe my style as calm, engaging, and practical. I believe in combining insight with action—helping you not only understand what’s happening but also find concrete ways to move through it. Whether we’re addressing past trauma, current stressors, or future goals, my goal is to help you reconnect with your resilience and rediscover a sense of meaning and momentum in your life.

Your brain is always going, a constant loop of ideas, worries, and “shoulds.” You feel pulled in a million directions but can’t seem to start or finish the things that matter most. Deadlines sneak up, motivation comes in bursts, and overwhelm feels like your baseline. You might procrastinate until the last minute, avoid things that feel scary or hard, or overcommit to keep everyone happy, only to feel burned out and guilty later. Shame and self-criticism show up daily. More than anything, you want to quiet the mental noise, feel capable and calm, and stop beating yourself up.

Searching for a therapist is the first step toward a more resilient version of yourself. As an LGBTQIA+ Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I provide a space rooted in respect, sensitivity, and radical compassion. Whether you are navigating the heavy weight of burnout, the complexities of trauma, or the daily strain of anxiety and depression, I am here to help you find your footing. Transformation isn’t linear—there will be setbacks—but if you are ready to invest in yourself, I am ready to support you in every stage of the process.
