Introduction

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship/family issues. I view the client/therapist relationship as an equal one - you are the expert on you, I am here to help guide you, give you support, and lead you to your strengths. If you’re going through a major life change, dealing with past wounds, or feeling overwhelmed and stuck, you’re not alone. You might feel hesitant about reaching out at first, and that’s completely okay. Taking that first step can be tough, but together, we’ll create a safe space where you can explore new perspectives, understand yourself better, and build healthier habits. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate these challenges and discover your inner strength.
