I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m dedicated to providing a compassionate and supportive space where individuals and couples can navigate life's challenges. Whether you're facing trauma, overwhelming stress, or seeking deeper self-discovery, my approach centers on empathy, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to your healing journey. Together, we’ll work to restore balance and help you reconnect with a sense of well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll have a welcoming and open conversation about your experiences with mental health services, what brings you to therapy, and your hopes and goals for our work together. I’ll also ask about what feels most important for you to explore and any concerns or questions you might have. This session is about getting to know you, establishing a sense of safety, and creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. It’s an opportunity to start building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship tailored to your needs

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I bring deep compassion, empathy, and a commitment to empowering each client on their unique journey. With a strong background in emergency and clinical mental health, I have experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and supported, and I believe that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth and healing

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with a diverse range of clients, with a special focus on trauma survivors of all ages, neurodivergent individuals, and those within LGBTQIA+ communities. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where clients can navigate their unique experiences and identities. My goal is to support healing, self-discovery, and personal growth, meeting each client where they are with empathy and respect
