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. I believe in creating a safe, steady space where you can heal, grow, and feel truly supported.

Navigating relationship challenges, family conflict, and major life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. I support people who are working through unhealthy patterns, communication struggles, and changes that affect their sense of stability and connection. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and validated as you reconnect with your strengths and needs

Mental health and physical health impact each other profoundly. I have a keen understanding of that with years of experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner at the same time. I specialize in depressive, mood, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. I am fascinated with integrative medicine and oriental philosophy and their utility in current evidence-based psychotherapy.
