I have had the opportunity and blessing to work with individuals from all dynamic backgrounds and in those endeavors have acquired a great appreciation and respect for what each individual struggle with. It is my hope and responsibility to get them through this

Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a total of 10+ years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient services. I am seasoned in working with depression, anxiety, attachment and relationships, self-esteem and identity building and trauma.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging and transformative moments. Throughout my career, I have worked with people experiencing mental health crises, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, disabilities, and end-of-life concerns. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the unique circumstances, strengths, and challenges each person brings into the therapeutic space.

My approach to therapy is inquisitive, warm, affirming, and empowering. I believe that meaningful therapy begins with genuine curiosity about your experiences and not judgment or assumptions. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your needs.

Whether you are navigating anxiety or depression, adjusting to changes in your health or circumstances, coping with a difficult transition, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you recognize the strengths you already possess, and work alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Therapy is not about telling you how to live your life. It is about creating a space where you can explore, heal, grow, and make choices that are meaningful to you. I would be honored to be part of that process.

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
