Nice to meet you!

As a Mental Health Counselor I am deeply passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and reach their full potential. My work is fueled by my strong belief that everyone has the capacity to create change in their lives. My specialties are:

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Addiction & recovery

· Stress Management

· Trauma and PTSD

· Faith based (Christian) counseling

I'm a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Registered Drama Therapist, and Ph.D. in Organizational Development. My personal and professional work in social and racial justice informs my commitment to addressing the impact of trauma among those who identify as caregivers, protectors and fighters.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I focus on creating a supportive and thoughtful space where you can feel empowered to grow. I have 4 years of experience working with diverse populations and a wide variety of diagnoses. I earned my Master of Social Work Degree from NYU Silver School of Social Work. Most of my work focuses on supporting adults through various life challenges, including relationships, anxiety, depression, and executive functioning.

I provide compassionate, collaborative care for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your treatment.

My style is warm, practical, and patient-centered. I work with you to better understand what you are experiencing, identify meaningful goals, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. With my background in both mental health and family practice, I take a whole-person approach to care that supports both emotional well-being and overall wellness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping individuals navigate life’s transitions using a mindfulness-based and person-centered approach. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. Whether you’re managing the demands of parenthood, adjusting to a new phase of life, or seeking more balance day-to-day, I strive to provide a supportive space where you can explore your experiences and develop tools for lasting well-being.

There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt. Working with a Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing has transformed my emotional well being by helping my brain and body recognize safety and reducing my sensitivity to unpleasant sensations and arousal. I now feel more in control, I welcome unpleasant bodily sensations when they show up, and feel more safe in my body.
