About
As a woman who has grown up facing personal trauma and loss, I understand how life’s hardships shape us and how cultivating insight and resilience can help us move forward with greater clarity and connection.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 6 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, teens, and couples. I work with clients navigating identity shifts, life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional disconnection, grief, and loss. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with a strong focus on understanding emotional and relational patterns that impact overall well-being.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Nevada. My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, helping clients explore how past experiences influence present thoughts, emotions, and relationships while building insight, resilience, and self-understanding.
Beginning therapy takes courage, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we will explore your experiences, uncover meaningful insights, and work toward personal growth and healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others.

If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD.
