Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have a therapist who is truly in your corner, celebrating your wins while holding space for your most difficult chapters?

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work, I’ve spent my career navigating the complex intersections of mental health and substance use, and I’ve learned that the most powerful tool for change is an affirming, open-minded partnership. I’m here to offer more than just clinical expertise; I’m here to provide an empowering environment where your identity and experiences are validated without judgment. My background has taught me that resilience is often a quiet force, and my goal is to help you amplify that strength so you can navigate life’s challenges with a renewed sense of agency and hope.
