(she/her)
From a young age, I understood that life doesn’t come with a playbook. We all face challenges—some expected, others that knock us off our feet. Over time, I discovered the power of listening, holding space, and of helping others find their way through to reach their desired outcome. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a background in performance coaching and trauma-informed care, by bringing both clinical expertise and a holistic approach to therapy. Whether you’re a teen exploring identity, a young adult feeling stuck or overwhelmed, a parent managing stress, or someone navigating grief or major life transitions. I am is here to support you. Specializing in anxiety, life transitions, emotional resilience, and inner child healing, I create a space that’s welcoming, down-to-earth, and grounded in trust. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or quick fixes. It’s about partnership, deep insight, and helping you build the tools to move forward with confidence. No matter your age or stage in life, i believe healing starts with feeling seen and supported. And from the moment you walk through the door (or log on), you’ll know, you don’t have to do this alone.
In our first session you will experience a warm, welcome where there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. I will take time to get to know you, your story, what brings you in, and what you hope to get out of therapy. Together, we will set some goals, talk about what feels comfortable for you, and start building a connection based on trust and honesty.
My strengths include creating a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. I have a gift for balancing real talk and empathy, by helping clients open up without fear of judgment. Supporting you with breaking down big, overwhelming challenges into manageable steps, and offering fresh perspectives that promotes healing. Clients appreciate my honesty, warmth, and ability to make tough conversations feel safe, empowering, and even transformative.
My ideal clients are anyone who currently feels stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to grow. They might be navigating anxiety, stress, or major life transitions and want support with compassion, connection and without judgment.

This was my first ever 1-on-1 therapy session and it went extremely well. I appreciate AJ for her support and next steps and I am looking forward to meeting with her again!

AJ has a very practical approach which I appreciate. She gives tools for success and when I use them, help tremendously. The last year has been full of trauma and I feel a large part of my wellbeing is attributed to the work we've done together.
