Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!

I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.

Please note, I do not accept insurance for couples therapy.

I have almost 20 years of experience working with couples and individuals of all backgrounds. Outside of this, I have quite extensive training in working with healthcare professionals, spirituality, and substance abuse.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, couples, and family systems. I serve individuals and families seeking practical tools and compassionate support to navigate mental, emotional, and behavioral health challenges.
