Feeling stuck and ready to take the next step in your life? You’re not alone. I support clients who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and long-standing unresolved challenges by helping them explore their experiences with curiosity, compassion, and safety. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, trust your inner voice. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll identify goals that matter most to you whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, addressing unresolved challenges, or figuring out what’s next when you’re ready for change but unsure where to begin. I primarily integrate evidence-based therapeutic methods, with EMDR as the central approach guiding the treatment process

There is a kind of hurt that does not just go away with time. It settles in, shapes how you move through the world, and starts to feel like just who you are now. I work with adults navigating trauma, relationship wounds, PTSD, ADHD, and stress that never seems to fully let up. I let you lead. You are the expert on your own life, and I show up as my full self to meet you there: honest, direct, and genuinely invested in the work. Clients often tell me they feel a real sense of connection early in our sessions, and that matters a lot to me.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialty in maternal mental health — supporting people through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent. My background in home health, hospice, and hospital-based care has given me a deep appreciation for the whole person, not just the presenting concern. I see clients virtually in the evenings, so getting support that actually fits your life is something I take seriously.
