I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping you learn how to cultivate the life you deserve and want. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, thinking patterns, and self-limiting beliefs that create daily barriers to life fulfillment. I believe in taking a collaborative approach towards helping clients reach their goals. I hold space for you to narrate your journey without fear or judgment. I welcome your invitation to walk beside you in letting go of the things and ideas that no longer serve you. You deserve the opportunity to cultivate a better you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a chance to get to know one another identify areas of concern and more importantly, determined if it's a good fit for your needs. As a therapist, I focus on creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I truly believe in providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to work through their struggles; let's work together to find peace and calm.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe it is an honor to serve clients struggling with finding ways to deal head on with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder). I offer honest feedback, met with compassion and unrelenting support.
