I’m a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in treating narcissistic abuse, postpartum challenges, and relationship issues. I’ve spent years helping clients rebuild their sense of self, strengthen boundaries, and recover from painful relational patterns. My style is direct, compassionate, and deeply trauma-informed.

Navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, and major life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
