I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with three years of clinical experience providing telehealth-based psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My professional identity is grounded in social work values and a commitment to trauma-informed, relational, and practical care. My background includes extensive experience in child welfare, with prior work in Child Protective Services and adoption services. This foundation has shaped my understanding of how early adversity, family systems, and relational experiences influence emotional well-being across the lifespan. I approach therapy with an appreciation for both individual strengths and the broader contexts in which people live, work, and care for others. As a clinician, I strive to create a therapeutic space that is collaborative, respectful, and emotionally safe. I work from an integrative framework that draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and attachment-informed principles. My style is both exploratory and skills-based, allowing room for insight while also focusing on practical strategies that support meaningful change in daily life. I believe that therapy should be responsive to each client’s unique needs, goals, and pace. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic alliance, clarifying goals, and helping clients develop tools for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and self-understanding. Through telehealth, I aim to provide accessible, high-quality care that supports growth, resilience, and long-term well-being.

I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.
