Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Northampton, MA, with eight years of experience and a deep commitment to meeting people where they are. I work with clients across the lifespan. From children to elders, and I'm proudly affirming of LGBTQ+ identities and experienced in working with Black and African American communities. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, grief, or questions of racial identity, I bring both professional grounding and genuine warmth to the work. I'm an eclectic therapist, which means I draw on a wide range of tools to fit you, not the other way around.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, supported, and empowered. I work collaboratively with clients to identify practical solutions, build on their strengths, and develop the tools needed to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to challenge themselves, explore new perspectives, and actively engage in the therapeutic process. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or other personal struggles, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where lasting growth and healing can take place.
