I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida, New Jersey, Iowa, and Massachusetts, with several years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have since worked in both residential and outpatient settings, helping adults navigate complex emotional experiences and build lasting resilience.

I’m trained in EMDR therapy and integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. My style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, creating a space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, heal from the past, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Therapist

I believe that healing happens through genuine connection. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem.

My goal is to meet you where you are. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, we’ll work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want to create. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your unique needs.

I have my master’s degree from Lesley University in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy. I am certified as a mindfulness teacher, mediator, and yoga teacher. The mind-body connection is an important aspect of the approach I take with clients. I am also trained to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Additionally, I’m a facilitator of Gender Equity and Reconciliation, so it informs my work with couples and relationship challenges.

Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature.
