I became a clinical social worker because I believe our relationships and experiences shape who we are, and everyone deserves a safe, understanding space to explore them. I love helping clients feel heard, process challenges, and build stronger connections with themselves and others

I work well with children, adolescents, young adults, older adults, and families with teenagers. I enjoy supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

Healing takes time, and it often involves exploring uncomfortable emotions, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others. Progress can feel gradual, but every step—big or small—is part of growth. Therapy is a safe, collaborative space where you can be honest, explore challenges, and develop the tools and insight you need to feel more empowered, resilient, and connected.

 In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming, safe, and nonjudgmental space where we focus on understanding your concerns and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your experiences, relationships, and goals so I can get a sense of what matters most to you. This is also a time for you to ask questions, share what you hope to achieve, and get a feel for how therapy might support you.

Having grandparents as caregivers and a parent struggling with addiction showed me firsthand how vital a safe, caring environment is. School was my sanctuary, and it inspired my work as a therapist: creating a nonjudgmental, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.

I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs by first getting to know them as a whole person—their experiences, relationships, strengths, and goals. I recognize that no two people process life or emotions the same way, so I take a flexible, individualized approach that meets clients where they are. Sometimes this involves traditional talk therapy, while other times I encourage clients to think outside the box, exploring creative strategies, activities, or exercises that help them process emotions, build insight, and practice new ways of coping.
