As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience, I can support children (age 6+), teens, adults, and families navigating trauma, stress, big life transitions, and emotional heaviness. My approach is grounding, collaborative, and focused on helping you reconnect with safety, clarity, and control. Together, we will create space for healing and build tools that help you move forward with steadiness and purpose.

Get to know me

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

Our work starts with understanding who you are—your strengths, what you’re facing, and what you want for yourself. I’ll support you with compassionate, nonjudgmental listening as you move toward healing. Together, we’ll select evidence-based treatments that align with your needs and honor your pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer a warm and inviting environment that provide space for you to assist in guiding your own treatment based on our combined strengths and treatment options. We will work together to find interventions that work for you and celebrate progress along the way. I can provide structured sessions as needed or wanted, as well as supportive listening sessions when needed.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Life can feel unsteady—especially after difficult experiences or during times of change. If you’ve noticed yourself feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to manage day to day, therapy can help.
