I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed, holistic care for individuals seeking meaningful change.
I view therapy as a bridge — helping you move from the past to your desired future.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help you uncover and release patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve you. Instead of changing these patterns through force, we clear away the distortions to reveal the clarity underneath.
My goal is to walk alongside you on this leg of your healing journey, as you align your mind, body, spirit and actions.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.

I believe in care that sees the whole person — not just a diagnosis. Having witnessed patients go unheard during their most vulnerable moments, I built my practice around genuine advocacy and connection. I work at your pace, in a safe and supportive environment where your concerns are fully heard and your goals guide your treatment.
