LCSW, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
I'm a licensed clinical social worker. Since becoming a licensed clinical social worker in 2019, l've dedicated my career to the healthcare field, where I've witnessed firsthand the profound connection between mental and physical health. Over the years, l've supported individuals navigating complex medical challenges, and it became undeniably clear that emotional well-being is not separate from physical healing-it's central to it. My work bridges that crucial gap, advocating for holistic approaches that honor the whole person: mind and body alike:
Your first session with me is truly your space-centered entirely on you. It's a time for us to connect, for me to listen, and for you to share your story at your own pace. I want to understand who you are, what's brought you here, and most importantly, what you'd like your life to look like. Together, we'll explore the path forward-one that feels authentic and achievable for you.
I chose to become a clinical social worker to be a voice for those who often go unheard. During my time in nursing school, I noticed that many patients were struggling with physical health issues that didn't have a clear medical explanation. When I had a moment to simply sit and listen, they opened up—and often said how much it meant to be truly heard. That experience revealed how deeply emotional and psychological pain can affect the body. Having personally lost a loved one to suicide, I came to believe that mental health is the foundation for everything else. When we nurture the mind, the body often follows-and that path to healing can look entirely different for each person.
I work best with individuals who feel overwhelmed, unheard, or stuck in cycles they can't quite explain-those who may be managing health conditions, navigating life transitions, or carrying emotional burdens that feel invisible. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, chronic illness, or just feeling disconnected from the life you want, l provide a space where you can slow down, be seen, and begin to make sense of what's going on beneath the surface. I offer support that goes beyond symptoms. Together, we'll uncover patterns influenced by your environment, past experiences, and present stressors. My goal isn't to "fix" you, but to walk with you as you clarify your goals, tap into your strengths, and discover a path that feels more aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
I’ve used CBT since the start of my career. CBT focuses on addressing thought processes and making the appropriate changes.
