I became a social worker-therapist because I am deeply moved to see people’s capacity to heal and grow. I want to help others reclaim their voice and build lives that feel authentic and sustainable.

I work best with adults and children, with a particular focus on women navigating life transitions. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, school issues, and college-related concerns.

One thing I wish all clients knew is that healing is a journey, not a quick fix. Therapy is a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace, and it’s okay to take small steps toward change. Growth often happens gradually, and even when progress feels slow, each session is an opportunity to build self-awareness, resilience, and the tools needed to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming space where we focus on getting to know you, your experiences, and your goals for therapy. We’ll discuss your current challenges, gather background information, and begin identifying patterns or areas you’d like to work on. In the early stages, we focus on building trust, exploring your thoughts and emotions, and developing practical strategies to cope with stress, anxiety, or life transitions. The goal is to create a foundation for lasting growth and a collaborative plan tailored to your needs.

My practice is informed by my personal values of empathy, authenticity, and empowerment. Having witnessed how life transitions, trauma, and loss can impact well-being, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their experiences. I am passionate about helping clients reclaim their voice, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to navigate challenges with confidence and self-compassion.

I tailor therapy by taking the time to understand each client’s unique experiences, goals, and challenges. I use a collaborative, conversational approach, combining evidence-based techniques such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strength-based strategies to fit each person’s needs. Together, we identify patterns, develop practical coping skills, and create a personalized plan that supports growth, healing, and meaningful change in their daily life.
