(she/her)
For the past nine years, I’ve worked as a medical social worker and therapist in home health and hospice care, supporting people through grief, loss, and major life transitions. Being part of those deeply human moments showed me how powerful it can be to simply have someone there to listen and walk alongside you. That’s what led me to focus more fully on mental health, creating a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal at their own pace.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance to get to know you better by discussing your background and the reasons you’ve come to therapy. We will explore what’s been going on for you, what you hope to achieve, and any questions or concerns you might have about the process. There’s no pressure or rush, this is a safe, judgment-free space where you can share at your own pace. Many people feel nervous before their first session, and that’s completely normal. My goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment so you feel supported from the very beginning. Together, we’ll take the first steps toward the changes you want to see in your life, one conversation at a time.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I utilize active listening and provide a space free of judgment. In our work together, you’ll find a compassionate space where your experiences are honored and your voice matters.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in supporting adults as they navigate these challenging moments, with a particular focus on grief and postpartum experiences.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT often integrating its core components into broader treatment plans when clients are not in a full DBT program.
Grief Therapy
I utilize grief therapy to support my client as they process and adapt to significant losses — whether from death, divorce, illness, life transitions, or unresolved past losses. In my experience, grief does not follow a linear path, so therapy is tailored to meet clients wherever they are in their grieving process.
