Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations—including veterans, children, and women—each of whom has shaped my understanding of resilience and healing. Over the past decade, my practice has evolved to focus on adults (18+) navigating anxiety and depression. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m honored to walk alongside clients as they explore their inner world, build emotional strength, and rediscover joy. If you're considering starting or continuing your mental health journey, I welcome you with compassion, curiosity, and hope. Together, we’ll create a space for growth, insight, and meaningful change

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, my priority is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe to share your story, your goals, and what matters most to you. I see therapy as a partnership—one where we work together to help you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or growth, I’m here to support you in moving forward in a positive direction.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I use cognitive behavioral therapy approach. CBT is a good model for clinicians because it combines scientific reliability with practical methods that empower clients to become their own change agents. It gives therapists a clear, structured approach while promoting client independence, measurable improvement, and long-term growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I view therapy as a partnership—a shared journey of exploration, growth, and healing. My emphasis is on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven approach that helps us understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Together, we’ll work as a team to uncover patterns, build insight, and develop strategies that support a better quality of life and deeper self-understanding. I’m here to listen, support, and tailor your therapeutic
