I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in female-centered therapy, including perinatal mental health, trauma recovery, and life transitions. I provide a supportive and empowering space for women to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness-based therapy, I help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths. My goal is to support women in living authentically, managing stress, and finding balance in their personal and professional lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can share what’s bringing them to therapy. We’ll start by discussing their concerns, personal history, and goals for therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand their experiences, strengths, and challenges, while also introducing my approach and how we can work together. This session is about building trust and ensuring they feel comfortable and heard. By the end, we’ll start identifying initial steps toward healing and growth, setting the foundation for meaningful progress in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a compassionate, empowering, and nonjudgmental space for women to heal and grow. I bring a deep understanding of female-centered experiences, particularly around perinatal mental health, trauma, and life transitions. I’m skilled at helping clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their values. Most importantly, I believe in the power of authentic connection and meeting clients where they are, helping them feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. I also have a great sense of humor in sessions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to serve women ages 16+ who are navigating life transitions, motherhood, perinatal mental health challenges, stress, self-esteem, anxiety, or the impact of past trauma. Many of my clients are women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and their values. I work well with those who are ready to explore their emotions, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether they are struggling with self-doubt, relationship challenges, or balancing personal and professional demands, I provide a compassionate and empowering space to help them heal, grow, and thrive.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions, identifying personal values, and committing to meaningful action. I guide clients in mindfulness techniques, cognitive defusion, and self-compassion strategies, empowering them to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. Through ACT, I help women embrace their experiences, reduce emotional avoidance, and create fulfilling, value-driven lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. I work collaboratively with clients to identify negative thinking, develop healthier perspectives, and build practical coping skills. Through structured techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness-based strategies, I empower women to manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions more effectively. My goal is to help clients gain insight, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Trauma Informed Care
I take a trauma-informed approach to ensure that clients feel safe, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. I recognize the impact that past trauma can have on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being, and I prioritize creating a space that fosters trust and resilience. By integrating awareness of trauma’s effects, I help clients develop coping strategies, build emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with their strengths. My approach is always client-centered, emphasizing safety, choice, and empowerment to support healing at a pace that feels right for each individual.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. I support women in balancing acceptance and change, helping them navigate intense emotions and improve their relationships. Through practical strategies like mindfulness exercises, thought reframing, and behavior modification, I empower clients to manage stress, set healthy boundaries, and build resilience. My goal is to provide a structured yet compassionate approach that fosters emotional stability and a greater sense of control over life’s challenges.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness, self-compassion, and emotional balance. By integrating mindfulness techniques such as breathwork, meditation, and grounding exercises, I support women in managing stress, reducing anxiety, and developing a deeper connection to themselves. I guide clients in observing their thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering greater self-awareness and acceptance. My goal is to help clients break free from autopilot living, build resilience, and create a more intentional, fulfilling life.
