I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with many years of experience supporting individuals, families, and leaders through complex life challenges. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and periods of major change. Many of the people I serve are seeking stability, emotional clarity, healthier patterns, and a grounded path forward. My role is to help them feel understood, supported, and equipped to move toward the life they want.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, and strengthening self-worth. I use cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, psychodynamic, humanistic, family systems, somatic, mindfulness-based, Catholic/Christian, and integrative approaches. Clients receive structured guidance and collaborative treatment plan for meaningful progress and resilience.
You deserve care that honors your story, your challenges, and your strengths. I offer a warm, steady, and collaborative space where healing and growth feel possible. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to support you.
"As a clinical social worker and psychotherapist who has supported people through life‑changing trauma and transitions, I understand deeply how overwhelming challenges shape our lives and how healing and resilience are fostered through hope, compassion, and practical therapeutic tools."
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I decided to become a psychotherapist because I wanted to help support people through traumatic life experiences and life transitions.
What types of clients do you work best with?
I work best with all types of clients who are looking to heal and grow.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
It takes time and commitment to the theraputic process to see changes and feel better.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
Clients can expect to feel that they have found support, understanding and hope.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
By meeting the client where they are at and aligning towards the goals they identify and would like to achieve.
