I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are. I work with people navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions—especially those feeling stuck or overwhelmed by change. Healing starts with feeling heard, and that’s at the heart of my approach. With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’m here to walk beside you—with compassion, presence, and evidence-based tools for healing.

The prospect of starting counseling can appear scary. The worries of what other people may think, the stigma of counseling, and the thought of "am I weak'. I have been in this field for over 20 years, in a variety of setting, and I heard from many who shared their hesitation for reaching out. It takes courage to ask for help! I am here to offer education, support, and provide evidence-based treatments. We will work together to accomplish the goals that you set for yourself in counseling
