I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to support individuals and families. With extensive experience in trauma-informed practice, mental health counseling, and strengths-based intervention, I empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, sustainable change.

Grounded in a client-centered approach, I integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including clinical, community, and educational settings, helping diverse populations build resilience, enhance their well-being, and improve overall functioning. I am passionate about advocating for accessible mental health care, promoting emotional wellness, and guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and growth.

If you’re ready to start doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk beside you.
