Let’s be real—life gets messy, and sometimes Googling your problems just isn’t cutting it anymore. I work with individuals 15 and up, navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, or that constant “what am I doing with my life?” loop.

My work is especially meaningful with immigrant and refugee populations, where I draw on my cultural background, language access, and clinical training to meet clients where they truly are.
My experience spans some of the most complex and high-stakes corners of clinical practice, which means I don’t shy away from hard things.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist providing **individual telehealth therapy for adults (18+)**. I work with people navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma histories, personality disorders, emotional dysregulation, and the hidden weight of living in survival mode for too long. I bring a steady, grounded style—direct when needed, supportive always—and use CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and evidence-based trauma approaches to help clients understand their patterns and regain control of their lives. I also have extensive experience with justice-involved individuals, helping people rebuild identity, stability, and self-trust after systems involvement. I help individuals work through relationship challenges, but **I do not provide couples or family therapy, or medication management.**
My work centers on safety, clarity, and meaningful, real-world change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex and high acuity mental health needs. My work is grounded in trauma informed and trauma responsive care, with a strong commitment to creating inclusive, affirming spaces for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent clients, and individuals in rural communities. I work across the lifespan, including children (7+), adults, older adults, families, and couples.
My approach is collaborative and empowering, centered on the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and require my clinical expertise. I often describe my role as “working myself out of a job” to help clients build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to advocate for themselves and navigate systems independently. As a trauma specialist, I tailor evidence based interventions to each client’s identities, needs, strengths, and goals. My primary approaches include Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-(EMDRIA certification pending), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I also integrate Internal Family Systems informed interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exposure based strategies, mindfulness, and other approaches as clinically appropriate. I adapt treatment for neurodivergent clients and clients with intellectual or developmental disabilities because therapy should adjust to the person and not require the person to adjust to therapy.
I am continually shaped by the courage, insight, and lived experiences clients bring into our work. Every advanced training, specialty, certification, and state license reflect lessons learned from clients. I carry their trust, stories, and influence into every session with gratitude and responsibility.
