(She / Her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy is both a luxury and a necessity. Therapy saved my life, and I'm honored to be able to offer that same grounded, compassionate space to others. I provide warm, non-judgmental, trauma-informed care to couples, families, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My style is relational, intuitive, and gently direct — creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and meaningfully supported.
In our first session, we begin exactly where you are. I will take time to understand your history, current challenges, relationships, and goals — but also your values, culture, and the patterns that have shaped you. My approach is structured yet flexible; I balance thoughtful assessment with genuine curiosity. You can expect warmth, presence, and gentle guidance as we begin identifying what meaningful change would look like for you. By the end of our first meeting, you will have a clearer understanding of our direction and how we can work together toward your goals.
What stands out most in my work is my ability to combine deep empathy with strategic clarity. I tailor therapy to the individual, integrating approaches such as CBT, attachment-based therapy, EFCT, Gottman Method, IFS, psychodynamic therapy, somatic work, and trauma-informed care based on what will best serve you. I offer unconditional positive regard while also thoughtfully challenging you to grow. Clients often report reductions in anxiety and depression, deeper trauma integration, and stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I am fully invested in helping you rewrite your story into one of meaning, purpose, and joy.
